The Plain and Ordinary

As we go about our day doing the same things we normally do, we sometimes lose focus of the difference we make when we are willing to do those ordinary things. Most of the time we do these things without thanks or praise and bless you for doing it anyway. The Bible tells us that there was nothing about Jesus appearance that was extrordinary that would make us want to be drawn to Him, yet He is the most beautiful and influential being that ever was or ever will be.  Everything about God my Father in heaven makes me stand in Awe of Him. The fact that He endured Jesus pain along with Jesus when He was hanging on that cross astounds me even more. COULD YOU WATCH YOUR CHILD SUFFER FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S SAFETY? God sure did. God willed that Jesus would die for you and me and Jesus obeyed 100%. I'm sorry but I can't get the picture of the truth of God's love for me out of my mind, nor do I want to. Imagine the lack of thanks and praise that we give God daily. Yet God knew our incompetence long before He chose to make the ultimate sacrifice for us. What a wretch I am! So many of you are searching for that ultimate love, yet don't see that it's right there for you to have.It's FREE, YOU JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT IT!
