Just As I Am

I'm listening to a song by a Spanish artist named Jesus Adrian Romero right now. The song is called, "Just as I am". It speaks of the Lord accepting us just as we are. A sweet sacrifice, a precious incense to Him. It speaks of how we come to Him with nothing to give but yet we give our everything.
That is SO the truth. What do we have to give our King? What do we have that He needs? He doesn't need our wisdom or our insight, that's for sure. We know that He is the Alpha and Omega, He sees and exists outside of time, He DOES NOT need our opinion, hahahaha. He doesn't need our strength for He can calm the wind and the waves. He doesn't need our humor. I know this because He used His own sense of humor in creating me! He doesn't even need our adoration because He has legions of angels to worship and praise Him. He is perfection so why did He create us? Just so that we could mess everything up? I mean we ruined the garden of Eden, and then the world after the flood as well. And since He is omnipotent He knew what we would do before we did it!!!! SO, why, why did He place us on this piece of twirling rock in the middle of the Milky Way? Why did He create us amidst a billion galaxies each with billions of stars?????

L.O.V.E
The creator of the universe chose to step out and offer us love. He chose to create beings that desire love and affection. And because God is love He gave us the ability and the freedom to choose. We can choose whether or not we will love and serve the creator of the universe or whether we will love and serve ourselves. The logical deduction is pretty obvious isn't it? We obviously should choose to live and serve the perfect, loving, all-powerful being.

I know for most of you this is elementary stuff. You've heard it all before. You read your bible every day and are reminded of it. But please, don't lose your sense of awe. Don't forget that we are so puny in comparison to our God. This whole planet, over 6 billion people right? We are a little piece of rock among trillions that He put in the sky just to declare His handy work. Don't forget that every breathe you have is a miracle. Don't forget that it's our God, our Savior that holds everything together. He is the evolutionists' 'cosmic glue'. He is the unexplainable, the great mystery. And we, little, tiny us have the opportunity to know Him. He has called Himself our Father, our friend, our Savior, our lover.

He made us for His glory. Let Him use you for His glory however He might please. Let Him blow your mind, everyday. I am begging Him to move me beyond the trials and trivial things of this world. I've asked Him to make me heavenly minded, to see the big scheme of things. The beauty of God is that the more you see, the more you learn, the more you experience the more you realize how much more there is to know. There's no end of the road with God. He is everlasting!

  1. You just reminded me of what I was listening to on my drive into work ... I was listening to Jon boy say: "God takes care of His servants, those that make themselves available for use, like a carpenter takes care of his tools or a race car driver takes care of his car." I was blessed with that thought.
