| THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE LITTLE PEBBLE |

I was listening to a song today, and it was praising this magnificent God of the universe. This beautiful, amazing, wonderful God who created the heavens....formed the earth from a shapeless mass into a work of art. He created seasons, and mountains and oceans and trees and life and......well I could go on and on and never be able to stop......
But it hit me suddenly that this same God who created all this.........LOVES ME! I am just a little pebble in the grand scheme of things, yet He comes down daily, into my circumstances and He enters into a PERSONAL relationship with me!! WOW!!!
When I call out to Him, He isn't too busy and impersonal to want to bother with me. No.....He stops what He is doing just to minister to me!
I am sitting here, crying my eyes out as I write this coz I am so overwhelmed at His love and mercy.
Everything I do MATTERS to Him. He sees my tears when I cry, He holds my hand when I am hurting, and He celebrates with me when I am happy.
He will never ever ignore me. I don't ever have to worry that He will tire of me, or get so angry at the things I do, that He refuses to talk to me. He is just always there, loving me, teaching me, encouraging me.
Who can fathom this kind of love?
But then who can fathom a mighty God, leaving His comfort seat in heaven, to humble Himself as a man.....so we can know that He understands it all.....coz He has been right where we are!
What a wonderful Saviour!

. Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you.
This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.
Without exception.
