I want to wish my beautiful wife Nicole a very happy birthday today. She is the best thing God has blessed me with here on this earth. She is so patient, loving, caring…you get the idea.
To honor her, I dedicate this song to her:
SM Lockridge’s sermon. Very powerful. When you let everything sink in…you realize just how wonderful Jesus is, and how much God loves us to have sent Him.
I love this song. Even though it is a Christmas song, it also captures the essence of Christ’s mission. It’s a great reminder of what He went through to reach down to us and offer salvation and grace. Compared to God, we are nothing. Nothing. Yet He still loves us and desires a relationship with us.
No other God has done this…because there is only One True God. And He poured out His heart to romance a world that is torn all apart.
This skit keeps coming to mind, especially during times of stress. I can’t do it alone…and I don’t have too. No matter what is going on, or what the enemy is doing to distract me, Jesus will never give up on me. He will try to get through to me. Jesus will not stop trying to get to me.
Despite my unworthiness, despite my stupidity, despite my ignoring His ways and trying to do my own thing – Jesus still loves me. Still wants me. Still cares for me. I am not out of His reach.
And that comforts me. I need Him more that anything else. And when I stumble…when I fall…He will pick me up. When I can’t go on…He will carry me.
And He wants to be your everything too.
