God is glorious!!

So tonight, I really had nothing to do. So I decided to go to Shane's Rib Shack to eat cuz I had a coupon (by the way...it's the most amazing place to eat!!). I also decided to start the whole reading the Bible all the way through thing...a little late, but I'm gonna do it. So I took my Bible to eat w/me and read what I was supposed to read, then left. I didn't want to go home, so I drove around for a long while. I popped in a cd that I had burned from my iTunes entitled "Worship". Holy cow!! I didn't want to stop driving! I drove some back roads and saw some deer in a little field...that was neat. But I just drove around praising God so loud in my truck and loved every single minute of it! Have you ever had days/nights/what-not like that?? I haven't had on in a while. I also wanted someone to talk to, but no one really came to mind except one person. She didn't answer her phone. I just left her a message and went on.

I realized tonight how much God wants us. He doesn't NEED us, He WANTS us. We're the reason He came to earth. I'm the reason He died on the cross. The awesome thing is...He rose again...He conquered death!! He lives! He did all that just so that I could have a relationship with Him and His Father. Have you ever thought about that? God...the Creator of the universe and everything that's in it...wants to have a relationship with you! I know that humbles me. I do all this crap and don't deserve anything, yet He lavishes it upon us - His grace, His mercy, His love! I never can, nor never will do anything that's good enough for Christ. All I can do is trust Him and live for Him daily. Ok. I think I'm done rambling now. :) I hope you are blessed!
