How He Loves


We hiked up a Mountain sunday night and it was beautiful at the top. I looked out over the smallness of everything I saw and wondered WHY God did that? Why did he make things so beautiful for a world that is so gross and broken? We sat on the very edge of the top with our feet hanging and we just enjoyed the weather and laughed a lot. When I think about the people I get to spend my time with I wonder why He loves me despite how gross and broken I am. It's the most simple things in my walk with Jesus that will always amaze me and it's the most simple things I will have to learn over and over again. I think the most wonderul things in the world are the things you just can't quite figure out. The things you don't understand, the questions that you can't answer yourself. Jesus and what he does makes no sense. It aint normal, people. It's rediculous and strange and overwhelming and not easy to get a hold of. He is the exact opposite of who I am and He loves me enough to give me this life that I've done absolutely nothing to deserve. He gives me chances continually and I can pick up right where I left off and that love never quits. I don't think about this fact as often as I should. We say Jesus loves us so many times because thats what Christianity is based on, but I never really take the time to look at my life and see the tons and tons of proof that He actually does. He does!
