God is so good

Wow. Words cannot explain how much I love Jesus.
Like, really. His love is so amazing and passionate.
He is so good.
I can't get over the fact that not everyone is running to Him with their problems.
Not running to Him just to worship at his feet.
Not comprehending that He is REALLY all we need.
NOTHING else can even come close to His power and love.
I feel that I am constantly reminded of this.
I'm not claiming to be in His presence all the time.
Because there are MANY times where I am mad at Him or frustrated with Him.
But when I really listen. And really look around... I realize how silly I am being.
These past two weeks I feel like I have fallen in love with Him all over again.

I was SO upset about my car breaking and my computer breaking. SO mad. How could He let that happen? Does He not realize how much I needed the car? Not just for me but for my family. They depended on it too.
But then at church (as I was refusing to sing and worship him because I was mad) He simply said, "why don't you trust me?" and I completely broke down. I felt so dumb. I have such a hard time doing that. Just giving every single thing over and trusting that He will take care of me. I doubt so often. But as soon as I gave everything over... the loan went through for the car and my computer got fixed.
Now while I don't know EXACTLY why those things broke... I'd like to believe it was God. He took everything out of my control so I had no option BUT to turn back to him. It's in times like those that I fall in love with Him again and want to rededicate my life and live ONLY for him. I can drift away SO easily but it's moments like that, that make me want to sit in my room all day long and worship Him.
The message on Sunday was about exactly that. Worshiping God even when things are horrible. Worshiping when NOTHING is going your way. Worshiping when you are mad at Him. And as odd as that may sound to some people... to me... that makes perfect sense. No matter how crappy my day is... I am ALIVE. And as long as I'm alive I want to be worshiping Him.
This blog has brought me to tears. I just can't explain how much I LOVE him. He has blessed me beyond belief. I feel that there is NOTHING I can do that will show Him how appreciative I am and how much I love him.
Jesusculture's new CD "Consumed" is now number 15 on iTunes. Right behind Twilight. You have NO idea how happy that makes me. God is SO good and I feel that people are beginning to see that. I feel that there is a revival coming. I can't explain it, but I feel it. I've been listening to Jake Hamilton's CD lately and it talks about taking your city back for God and taking authority back over yourself. It's so freeing and so exciting. It makes me so happy.
I guess that's it for now. I could go on for days but for the sake of my readers.... I won't. Haha.
Remember... You are loved by love Himself. How sweet is that?

when you say: "He took everything out of my control so I had no option BUT to turn back to him" that is EXACTLY it. i don't think Jesus could have said it better Himself.

& you said this blog brought you to tears, well it almost did it to me too. i've realized how un-eventful my life is, and how little suffering and pain i really do feel compared to most others, and i consider myself so blessed. however when i hear of how others have overcome, THAT is how i learn my lessons and faith.
"You are loved by love Himself" <3<3 thats gonna be my tattooooooooooo :D

It's so crazy that we are loved by a man who we haven't even me.t yet. It's crazy. He loves with all that He is. I agree with you when you said I don't know how people are running to him. It's crazy. I love you friend.
