You


Everyone has an idea of what they look like, who they are.  How they believe God sees them.  How they see themselves... But how does God REALLY see you?   No matter what you have done, don't forget that God loves you more than you can ever understand.  Sometimes, the hardest battle is aligning our thoughts with God's thoughts.  His thoughts about us, and who we are.  So start trying to align your thoughts with His.  And see what happens.

It's about time you understand how you appear to him, even if you don't see it yourself.








Dirty. Filthy. Soiled. Stained.
Broken. Despondent. Fractured. Disdained.
Aware of the inadequacies that lie within
Hating the frequency with which I sin.
These chains that seem so hard to break
The wrong choices  I constantly make.


But Clean. Purified. That’s what You say
Renewed. Repaired. My sin washed away.
Valued with a price so high
You sent Your only Son to die.
A slave no more You set me free
And broke these chains surrounding me.


Chosen. Called. And dare I say it?
Loved! Adored! You call me Your favorite.
You say my adequacy is found in You
And not determined by the things I do.

God's Mind and You




To those of you who dare to read this, be ready to consider carefully what I am about to write, and be blessed by it. :)


Today's Ponder:


First.  Ponder God.  How big is the CREATOR of the ENTIRE universe? How BIG is He?


Then, once awed by that thought, continue reading.


Second. According to Psalm 115:12, "The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us;"  Break this down smaller.  Mindful = inclined to be aware; bearing in mind. AKA.  God's mind is FULL of is.


According to scientific studies, humans only use a certain percentage of their brain, and yet, look at how full our minds are.  When thinking of the enormous God who created everything we can possibly imagine, designed each living thing so intricately...Again, how big is he?  What is the capacity of His mind, which knows no limitations?


I said all of this, to ask you this:


How many thoughts of YOU does it take to FILL God's mind?  


Based on the evidence written above...this is a valid question.
