A few weeks ago I was tagged by Karen at Surviving Motherhood. I don't usually participate in tags, but I couldn't pass up the chance to talk about how awesome Jesus is to me! The original meme came from John Smulo at Smulo Space. For a complete list of participant's check out John's blog.
Five Things I Dig About Jesus!
1.He loves me totally, completely and unconditionally.That is honestly a hard concept to wrap my brain around.I don’t have to try and impress or do certain things to please Him.He loves me because He created me!
2.He will never, ever leave or forsake me.If I go to the highest peak, He is there.If I travel to the lowest valley, He is there. Let’s face it, life is full of peaks and valleys, as well as a whole lot in between.He’s there for it all. That's a promise I can count on.
3.He continues to use me, despite my brokenness. Not sure about you, but I've got baggage. Regardless of what I might bring with me, I don't have to be complete or perfect to be used in His plan. I can lay my bags at the foot of the cross. He will use a less than perfect vessel and in the process bring about a transformation that brings glory and honor to him. That is very humbling.
4.He is the perfect example of how to live my life.End of story.
5.He sees the big picture of my life.I however, tend to observe only small segments at any given time.I once heard it described as viewing your life through a knot hole in a fence.Our view through the hole is limited to basically what is directly in front of us.God on the other hand is above the fence looking down.From his vantage point He can see in every direction. He sees what’s coming and is not surprised, so I can trust Him for whatever happens.
I won't tag anyone, but if you'd like to join in, leave me a comment so I can see why you dig Jesus!
I want to do it too!!!!! I'll do 5 things I love about Jesus....
1. I love Him for what He has done and continues to do in my heart. I was totally broken and defeated, in the depths of despair, and He has gently and faithfully healed me and brought me up to the heights..............2. I love Him because He called my name and didn't stop calling until I answered Him...........3. I love Him because, if it weren't for His sacrificial offering on that cross, I would be faced with nothingness and hell upon death............I love Him because, in His infinite wisdom, He took my tiny baby to live with Him 3 years ago, and because of #4, I have the assurance that I will see her again for Eternity...........and 5. I love Him because He continues, daily, hourly, to redeem me and renew my soul just because He loves me. That's a God that is worthy of all of my love and all of myself!
Angela, Thanks for participating in this meme. I, too, am amazed and humbled and grateful and in awe and on and on about number three. I love that He takes our brokenness and uses it for His glory!
BTW, just had an offer accepted on a house and decided to list ours last week. Since you know all through which I am about to go, I sure would love it if you'd pray for my family! Thanks!
The daily, sometimes hourly, musings of a homeschooling mom of four surviving on prayer, friendship and lots of Starbucks. Some days my cup runs over and some days it all spills out the cracks...and I wouldn't have it any other way.
