Back: Turning My and Taking Me

So in Worship the other day there was a line in one of the songs that we sang that really struck me as something beautiful. I know this sounds rather redundant as I had a post not to long ago that was quiet similar to this one but I assure you, Kind Reader, that they will be taking two distinct paths.

Every time I walk away you here waitng
Even when I turn my back you are still saying you love me

I got to thinking, how many people would really be waiting, unwavering in hopes that you would turn back around? And on top of that would be saying I love you......outside of a loving parent, I don't see much. Looking at relationships in my life that I would be willing to do that for..... in honest truth .... a few less than I'd like to admit, and being so bold I would assume that that feeling is mutual. That is alot of love. But on the flip side we serve a God who is love and who is waiting and who is ready to take us back the moment we start turning, and best of all He loves us just as much as He would if we never would have turned away in the first place. His love is unguarded, unrestrained, uncautious. He holds no grudge. It's beautiful. He loves us end of story.

Great Question

I was singing "How Great Is Our God" in worship a few Sundays ago, and I know I've sung that song a thousand times but I thought of something this time that I hadn't before. It was during the chorus which goes like this:

How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will sing
How great, how great
Is our God

And it seems to me that I have, in my mind, always posed this as a statement. HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! And what a statement it is. But as I was standing there I asked myself, what if I said it as a question?.... How great is our God?.... How great is MY God? ....It gives pause to think, no? If God can only be as big as you are willing to let Him be in your life, then this is a huge thing to consider. I mean God is God; yes that point I'm not arguing. Only the simple fact that God can only do as much in your life as you are willing to let Him. God can (as in He has the capability to) save every single person from hell, but whether or not you except that is up to you. God can heal you but if you don't believe that God still heals, he can't do it for you. Therefore as long as you choose to believe that He can't (whether you are right or not), then your God can't heal. The Bible says that all things are possible to him that believes. "All things" is a statement that requires a Great God, a God without limitations. If you believe that the Bible is completely true (as I do) then from this we can simply derive that what stands between us and a limitless great God, is the limitations that we put on Him.... So ask yourself, How great is your God?....just something to think about.
