.. I am CRAZY about Him..

reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.. and it is a blunt, very effective reminder of what life is all about..  for some reason we dismiss, or I should say, apparently I have been doing this; the fact that the God of the Universe, the One that made all the millions of galaxies, the One that created  the 3000 different species of trees that are growing within one Square mile of the Amazon Jungle -  loves me with a radical, crazy love.. get your head around that one..
He has known me from before I was conceived and has planned out my life and given me a specific purpose..

I am supposed to bring Him glory when things are great, by humbly pointing to Him as the source of anything good in my life .. and I am supposed to bring Him glory when things are tough and people can see that I, by His strength am able to deal with it ( and that does not mean pretending all is fine ) and never lose the peace and joy that He gives me..

fact:

  • He called me out of darkness into His marvellous light, even when I was dead in my transgressions and was an enemy of His
  • He has shown me my purpose and I have been living a life filled with joy and deeper meaning since the moment He saved me.
  • He is with me every second of every day
  • He doesn't need me, yet He allows me to be part of what He is doing
  • He has surrounded me with people that love Him and love me with His love
  • He speaks to me through His Word
  • He keeps me safe and gives me all I could ever need
So, what is my problem.. my life here is but a vapour, anything that seems so important to me right now will be forgotten, like I will be in 50-70 years... for sure..and I know that then I will be united with this amazing Creator, who also is my best friend..
how and where I will spend the rest of my life, which could be a mere day or another 30 years, does not matter much.. what matters is what impact I can have for eternity..
will I be received with a "well done, good and faithful servant".. how much will I have loved Him while on earth..

another fact:
  • I am CRAZY about Him... and He is CRAZY about me.. that can't be topped...
  • COOL

  1. AMEN Sister! I have this book but haven't read it yet. Perhaps now I will. Well actually I'll read it after A Simple Blessing. Could be just what I need to redirect myself in this maze I'm. My group of ladies were supposed to do a bible study on this book but never did. So hard for us all to connect. I'll do it on my own!
