Jesus Loves Me This I Know

Yo guys. Can I just say how awesome it is to know that no matter what happens, no matter what the future holds, that I can trust God with it? No matter what struggles we go through we know Christ was tempted far beyond us in every way and still would rather die for the sins of the world than die to sin? That even if we lose house and home, family and friends, belongings and even our lives for the sake of the gospel and Jesus' name we know we are satisfied in Him, and that He supplies even more than we can ask for or imagine?

That is just how I am feeling now. Like, just I know Nothing in All of creation. Nothing. at. All. can separate us from the love of God. Nothing. And that more than that, He is with us always from the moment we ask Him to come into our lives til the end of eternity.

If anything is astonishing, it's the gospel. That God would send His very Son to die for the sake of those who had voluntarily gone astray. Instead of wiping us off the face of the earth, He would have mercy on us and give us grace. That instead of the death we deserved. Death. He would die for us, to give us life, life abundant, new life, eternal life.

Yo. And the fact that He has made us in His image, that every single thing He has brought into our lives, no matter how messy or shameful it may be, He can still redeem any and everything in it for His glory and for His purposes. Everything.

Oh my God, you are just amazing and more than I could every hope to explain by words. Lord you are truly loving, just, and there for us in every circumstance. Lord, take every part of our lives and just use it for your glory. Let not any part of our hearts be filled with anything besides thee and thee alone. Father, discipline us in love and teach us each day more of the great things you have done for us and your faithfulness that in everything your plans are best.

What can I say, what can I do, but offer this life completely to you, oh God?
