What I've Been Thinking About

You're probably thinking "Oh no...she's been thinking! What random, crazy thing is she posting now??" Well this time it's not so random or crazy. If that's what you were looking forward to then my apologies. You'll have to wait a little bit longer. I've actually been thinking about something serious. *waits for gasps* Yeah, I know =P

Anyway, It's not long or detailed, but it works. Have fun. =)

We are all sinners. Every human being is a filthy, wretched sinner guilty of so many things. (Romans 3:23)

We are so very unworthy of the love that God has given us. (Psalm 8:4-5, Genesis 32:10)

God is holy, righteous, unchanging, just, all-knowing, all-powerful, merciful, and so much more. He is completely perfect.

We humans are weak, selfish, prideful, cruel, unloving, and all around rotten. Completely imperfect.

We sometimes (probably more often than not) look at ourselves and think we're so great and important. But when we look back at God and see all He is compared to ourselves, we realize how small and insignificant we really are. We are nothing. Absolutely worthless.

Yet, God still loves us...and there's nothing that will make Him stop.

Because we are sinners we deserve to die. (Romans 6:23) But because God loved us so much, He had mercy on us. God sent His Son, Jesus, to die in our place.

How awesome is that?? God loves us *that* much. He sent His only  SON to die a painful, humiliating death on the cross just so we wouldn't have to...

Every time I think about this I am amazed. Completely and utterly amazed.
