Constantly Amazed

I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene, and wonder how He could love me -- a sinner, condemned, unclean.


I am constantly amazed at God's love for me. I am constantly amazed that He would choose to use me, and continually give me opportunities that I definately don't deserve.

I just had a nearly 2-hour conversation tonight with someone who I barely know, but someone who is going through a tough time and is hurting. God has burdened me for people, and given me compassion. This is someone I reached out to via email and gave them my number and told them if they needed anything to call. I never expected a 2-hour conversation to come from it. Never expected that God would use me in such a way to someone I barely know. I know it is not me -- I know it is not because I am anyone with an amazing talent, or extremely knowledgeable or intelligent. I am thankful for the compassion He has gifted me with. It makes life difficult at times, because there are so many hurts in this world and so many hurting people. But yet, I am encouraged, because for every hurt, there is a God Who loves, and Who cares, and Who is reaching out to that individual.

I am constantly amazed, that despite myself and my own flaws and infallacies, that He would allow me a chance to step into a life and be a part of a moment that can make a difference for eternity. Thank you God!
