***

this thanksgiving weekend, as most people rejoice with their families, it will be a fight for me to remain joyful. it will be easy to listen to lies, fall into loneliness and forget all his blessings. God has already taken care of my biggest need, which was to be saved by the wrath of God. If He could do this, He is infinitely capable of providing for all my smaller needs (that's CJ Mahaney, paraphrased). He is enough to fill the lonely heart and provide comfort and love. its crazy that an infinitely huge, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God would choose to love this ugly heart of mine.

to quote a girl that we shared the gospel with today,

"Your God must be crazy. Why would He die for insignificant human beings? I don't understand."

oh Tracy, you are right. its beyond human comprehension. for one would scarcely die for a righteous person--though for a good person one might dare even to die. But Christ shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

mm... these are good things to ponder alongside others this thanksgiving weekend.
