Indescribable

'Long before you decided what you were going to do with God, God decided what He was going to do with you. And that was not to give you what your sins deserve but to give His Son what your sins deserve. And to give you the gift of himself and an invitation to live in a big story that is all about Him. There is Grace and Hope. There is nothing that this world can do or shake you out of the hand of God that is holding the universe of His palm. His grace is strong enough to hold onto you and bring you through it all. Even in the darkness.'

I have taken this quote from Louis Giglio who preached a sermon describing where we are in light of the universe and where God has placed us. I've forwarded this web address to some before (see below) but most people nowadays don't have time for a 45 min lesson. If anything, I received the quote above and take it to heart. I personally enjoyed the sermon to help give us a little perspective (just a little) on where we are in all of this. He created the earth, sun, universe, galaxies, etc and despite all the sin we carry and the way we live, God chose to send His son to live on a little tiny planet called earth so that we may know Him and we will chose to let him live in our hearts. It amazes me how much we are consumed by the things of this world, technology, what tomorrow will bring for us, how we can make more, spend more and what the power of the almighty dollar does to control this world yet He goes way beyond all of this. Thank God there is something beyond ourselves! Praise God that He has a plan because I would most certainly be lost without it.
