“Before I formed you in
the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
~Jeremiah 1:5
Okay let me just say something…the creator of the
universe set me apart…set you apart…WHAT!!! Listen…that’s dang
tyte! Not only that we are set apart but He knew us before
He formed us in our mothers womb! He has created us all for specific
purposes and all of that was planned out before I even came into
existence. I realize this seems a bit obvious but it blows my mind how
much God loves me and takes time to care about my life now, but to think
that before I was even made God thought about making me…and He chose
to make me…God chose to make you!

“This is the God we serve; the God who knew us before He made us.
The God who promises to remain with us and rescue us.
The God who loves us and longs for us to love Him.
So why when we constantly and are so unlovable and unloving,
does God persist in loving us?”
~Francis Chan
DAAAAAAANG!!!! Brutal! These are two things that have
been convicting me/blowing my mind this week. God is crazy. For real,
it is beyond me why He continues to love me and pursue me. When Jesus
walked this earth He love people, really loved people. And He loved
everyone even those who were difficult to love and even those who did
not love them back. I can only imagine comments from on-lookers, “What a
fool to eat a meal with a woman like that!” “Who would He waste the
time of day on that man?” “Those people are hopeless.” “Why is He
speaking to children, they cannot understand.” People on the outside
must have thought He was an idiot loving those He loved and as deeply as
He did. I want to love as radically as that; to learn how to love by
the one that did it the best.

These are just some things I have been thinking about
this week and thought I would share them with y’all. 🙂 I hope everyone
had great weeks, I don’t have any updates on my friend Maurice but I
will let you know as soon as possible. God bless!
