I could preach it

So this all just kind of spilled out of me during worship tonight. God just overwhelmed me with His beauty and how much we don't appreciate what His has created.


You don't get it

God and Jesus created the heavens and the earth. He created all of the billions of stars and all of the galaxies. He created mountains and valleys. But the greatest thing He every created was us, humans, made in His image. His image. Nothing else in the world is created in His likeness. We were created after Him.
You can go anywhere in Reno and look out on a mountain top and behold the beautiful created earth and all of it's ups and downs, greens and browns, man made and God made structures. We are fearfully made. God loves His creation and takes delight and pride in what He has created.

Think about if you created something. You would take pride in it and you would get upset when anyone looks down upon it or said negative things about it. God gets the same way when we think negative things about ourselves or others. How dare we say what God created wasn't good enough or beautiful?

God humbled himself so much to take on human form and come to Earth an deliver us from our sins. He endured pain, suffering, and death for us, sinners, and even those who were no where near being born! Thousands and thousands of years ago Jesus took away my sin. We obviously couldn't have done anything back then when he was on the Earth to ask Him to take my aim away why would we think we have to do anything special now? It's done. When He died, He said it is finished, meaning God took away our sin right at that moment.
All He asks is if that we would lay our life down for Him, just as He did for us. And the best part is that we don't even have to die. We get to live everyday even more to the greatest because we are never alone. Think about all the things you have missed out on because you felt alone. God is right there with us every step of the way. We don't have anything to fear.

The God who created EVERYTHING and gave us life by breathing into our lungs walks with us every day, and not just by our side but Inside of us!

Oooo! Don't forget that the same power Jesus used to raise the dead, heal the sick, give sight to the blind, and cast out demons we have in us as well. The moment we say "Yes" we also have that power.
