...so there's this God....

there's this God i serve, and i want to tell you about Him. but first let me tell you about myself.

i am a sinner. i am a sheep that 10 times out of 10 will go astray when living life on my own. i make mistakes every day of my life. i slip and i fall. i am not perfect and realize i have imperfections and blemishes that show themselves in all areas of life. i am weak and i am broken. but i have hope and i have joy in knowing....

there's this God i serve, and i want to tell you about him. he's amazing. he took darkness and spoke light into it. with his very hands he formed the earth and everything on it. he painted sunsets on the sky and the moon's reflection on the sea. he breathed his breath and brought life into man. he is in love with his creation. he looked on his creation with so much love and longing for relationship with them that he sent his only son to take the world's sins upon his shoulders. his son died the most humiliating and excruciating death in history. and for what reason? so that you and i might have eternal life.

that's what is so amazing about my God. when i accepted the call to follow my God he accepted me. he accepted me and all of my faults. he loves me. he knows my weaknesses and my imperfections and in those he shows himself strong and perfect. he knows my tendency to be a lost sheep and so he made it known to me that he is my shepherd. and he watches over me with a watchful eye...always giving his best for me. he sees my failures and when i fall he picks me up, brushes me off, and encourages me to get back in this race. he knows that i am a sinner and that is why he sent his son to die for me.....so i didn't have to.
