I know this might seem really giddy, but I just can’t help myself, and I guess I don’t much want to either. I just want to express how amazingly awesome God is and how incredibly special He makes me feel. I honestly feel like the most blessed individual on the face of the earth, and I don’t come to that conclusion by singling out any particular area of my life, because God is involved in every area.
It doesn’t mean that everything is always perfect, or that there is no room for improvement, but one thing is certain: God is working, and that’s all that really matters.
I asked my wife the other day if she ever feels the way I do; she admitted that she does. I began to wonder, why is it that I am enjoying life so much, and why am I so blessed? I know that it goes way beyond me, and that it absolutely is because of the grace of God. But my wife says that I’m repentant and that I desire change, and that I am changing; and that’s why life is so good. It makes sense, and I suppose that those who don’t feel like they are the center of God’s universe perhaps aren’t changing much.
Do you want to know what the really great part of all this is? Since I am walking in this reality of God’s goodness and blessing, it frees me up to focus on the world. I’m not pitter-pattering around in my own little world, consumed with my own life. I know how much God loves me, I’m totally complete in Jesus, and that makes me dangerous. Now I can truly be a blessing, which is what God’s plan has been all along.
I pray that you too will be reminded of just how much God loves you, and just how special you are to Him. You truly are the center of His universe. Motzart said it this way, "Remember merciful Jesus, I am the cause of your journey." Glory!
