I am going through the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan with a few ladies in a bible study group and oh wow! I've read this book before and I remember it blowing my mind, challenging me and ended up changing my relationship with Christ in a few areas. Here I am again, reading these God inspired words and my heart is totally and completely overwhelmed by God!
In the first chapter Francis quotes Psalms 102, "But you, O Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations... But you remain the same, and your years will never end."
When I read this I couldn't help but to worship God!! Then I could hear this voice (not audibly, but like how you hear your thoughts or your conscious) say 'I am still the same. I haven't changed and never will. I am still the same God who loved you and pursued you when you were at your very worst.' At that I realized that without knowing it, I had tried to put God in this box of rules. It was like once I was saved he webt from being this God who undeniably loves me no matter what mess I make to this God who said this is what you're supposed to do now that you're a Christian. Of course that was all my doing and the funny thing is you could've asked me and I would've told you how none of that is true and God is greater than any box we could ever even imagine and all of these things. Yet subconsciously I've been living in that.
So there is my awakening moment today. I hope this helps someone out there, if not it helped me!
Have a great day!
