God is truly amazing to me.
The verse in the Bible that tells us the God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts...has been made so real to me this year.
When God made the earth, He didn't stop with the oceans and mountains and valleys... He added animals and humans... He added life.
When God created life He didn't stop there. He created marriages...families... and with that He created relationships. When God created these families He also created friendships. Through Jesus, He taught the value in family and friends and that we should bare each others burdens and love one another as we love ourselves. Through merely creating people, which is miraculous and ingenious in itself, He didn't stop there. He went on further and developed personal, intimate attachments between those people.
God created the early morning dew and the summer rain for the dry, parched ground. He created the fruits of the trees and plants for our food. When He created the oceans and the sunsets and the eagles that fly around the mountain tops, He didn't stop there. He created You and I...to enjoy its beauty.
When we separated ourselves far from Him, He created a bridge. He sent His Son Jesus to pay for our sin. A price Jesus didn't have to pay, but He did so willingly. He gave up His life, shed His blood, so that we could have the opportunity to be reunited with God, and to one day live in heaven with Him.
God could have stopped at letting us live our life, but He didn't. He gave us memory. He gave us the ability to keep the precious moments we've lived by allowing us to have a file in our minds to look back on. When those friends and family members are no longer with us, the memories still are... they linger...the past is not forgotten...
God could have stopped in many many areas of the world. But it's amazing to me that He kept blessing. When man didn't deserve a single blessing, He gave one anyway. He gave all.
