Amazing Love

"If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring
and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose Your heart.
And the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem?
Face it, friend. He's crazy about you."

Max Lucado; A Gentle Thunder

"Because He delights in me, He saved me." Psalm 18:19
Now that's what I call amazing love.

He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose Your heart....that's my favorite part. I love that. Thanks for sharing that...it reaffirmed what God's been speaking to me today.

anything that reminds me of the magnitude of God's love for me shows me again that all is good and right in my life...nothing to feel discouraged about or to worry about...no spiritual fretting. All is well!

I posted this because it hit me like a Mack Truck. I have such trouble understanding, accepting and relishing God's love for me. I feel guilty somehow even considering myself "lovable"... And yet that is what makes His love so amazing... it doesn't have anything to do with ME. It's all about Him. It's mind boggling.

Loved the words of Max. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have you ever visited Farm Girl Fare. She always has heart pictures from nature. Like heart shaped rocks. Now I always look for them. I need to see some cute pics of those kids (o:
