Awesome...

I stumbled across a fundamental truth today that sometimes we seem to forget: that God loves me!!!! The fact that the Lord God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, who made the mountains and the seas and who holds the stars in place and knows each and every one of them by name loves me is nothing short of awe inspiring. It is Awesome - although I use awesome in the sense that it fills me with Awe, rather than its less powerful modern meaning! God looks at me and wants to spend eternity with me!

And so when I look at myself that is where I should find my value. I'm not valued because of what I do or what I have or how I look, but rather because God says I AM VALUED! He says I am His most cherished of all creation. To Him I am more valuable than all the diamonds and rubies in all of the world. When Almighty God looks at me and says 'I Love You', that means He Loves ME, and there's nothing that can ever change that!!!

That's nothing short of awesome. . .
