I hate secrets. I hate secrets. I hate secrets!

I know things happen that can change your mood, day, or even your life, but sometimes it gets a little draining. It's nice knowing I can always be thankful for the fact that God is great, and that never changes. It's good knowing His love is unconditional, and that never changes. Even if we don't feel like He will love us, it doesn't matter,

It's so true... I can't begin to explain how much grace God has poured out on me, and continues to do so...

All the horrible things I've done, and he's loved me through it all... even to the point of turning those horrible things into growth opportunities. What an amazing God, to be able to take all the times I screw up and say "It's alright, I still love you, and I can use all these things to help you help others." It blows my mind. I wish I was capable of that kind of love... to have someone hurt me over, and over, and over again... and still to be there every time they needed me... crazy.

And when I'm falling asleep upset, God still shows me the good parts of my day and makes me thankful... And when I think everything is going wrong, he shows me how much he loves me with unexpected little miracles... it's the small things... like thinking to yourself "traffic is horrible" and then getting on the beltway and having the road empty... and then looking behind you to see traffic piled up as far as the eye could see... I know that was one of those little "I love you"s from God.

1 John 3:16 -- "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."

How I long to live up to that verse. I guess it also goes along with the verse in Romans... which I don't remember the reference on... "I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship."

Yeah, God's love never ceases to amaze me. I really don't understand why He does things for me when I hurt Him all along. Through all this I've seen how it happened, because God loves me, and He wanted to be closer to me. Through the whole healing process though, I've hurt Him again and again, and yet He was still always there. It really is the small things though :)
