mind numbing

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8

I find it very peculiar that the God of the universe loves me. Today I sat and meditated on this fact. After sitting and solely thinking about this for a time it is absolutely mind numbing. I can't wrap my mind around it! I'm not able to. The Creator of the universe loves me. Me. & you.

Just think. The I Am whom created the 100,000 of leaves on a single tree also created you. Unlike a tree, He created you to be in relationship with Him. He breathed life into man. He died so that we might live in community with Him.

Isn't it painful to think we so easily get caught up in our day that we forget this life jarring fact?

Friend, go meditate on this. Look to God, who He is, and what He has promised us.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19
