A Big God

"...to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards." Crazy Love by Francis Chan

Yes, He's a God of love. A God I can talk to like a Father, can question and express doubts to. But in the end, this is something to remember: He IS God. Of everything. And, as He made clear to Job, His ways are so much higher than mine. Who am I compared to Him? Dust. Less than that, even. So I don't have to undersatnd everything. And I definitely don't know everything.

And I need to be okay with that.

Known

"He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to." Crazy Love by Francis Chan

He knows the number of hairs on our head. He knit us together in the womb. He knows when we lie down and when we get up. He knows our sins...and He loves us anyway.

The God of the universe.

Amazing, personal love.

All or Nothing

"...[Jesus] never begs us to give Him some small part of ourselves. He commands everything from His followers." Crazy Love by Francis Chan

He wants hot or cold. All or nothing. Totally sold out followers. How do I measure? Am I giving Him everything?
