Derrick How shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? What is man that you are mindful of him? I really wonder about this sometimes? How can a God so wonderful and great send his Son an actual part of himself to die for me? A wretched human who has no desire in his flesh to do anything that glorifies God. I'm reminded of the song by casting crowns called who am I (Link below) who am I that the lord of all the earth would care to know my name, it goes on to say that you care for everything even the sparrow or the flower I believe this is taken from scripture but it is so beautiful and catches my heart every time I hear this song. How did I ever think I was happy when I neglected God and the salvation he sent for me? I believed I was happy but looking back I was miserable... It's crazy what we make ourselves believe. God I never want to go back.
Kayla- the verse in Hebrews, I believe that is being quoted from Psalm, What is man that you are mindful of him? That you care for him? God cares for all of us and hears all of us, and it's been really neat the past few weeks being able to see not only in my life but in the lives of the people around me, how literal he answers us at times, and it is because he cares for us. When we call out to Him in a child like way, with honesty, and sincerity, He hears us and responds, and when we let go of control, He also does the work, too. There have been tons of times where its been me telling God I don't know how I'm going to do (this), and knowing it's God's will for me and plasn, He has always mDe a way. He cares for us more than any of us uculd ever even imagine, even the most knowledgable Christians and theologians, cannot comprehend the love that Hef has for us. How much he cares for us. I think about how much I care for an love people, especially the people in my circle of relationships, and then trying to understand that God loves and cares more than any of us are even close to being capable of, and it's beautiful. I think something to also remember is love/caring may not always been shown in the way we want it to or in those nice rainbow and butterfly feelings, but sometimes it comes in hurt, in tears, in falling down and getting back up again. God not only loves us enough to bring us joy, but to grow us also. What is even more lovely is that there is nothing I can do to deserve or earn it, it's already been paid for/earned through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Blessings.
