Jesus, Thank You!

Over Thanksgiving break, I found myself constantly giving thanks. There is never too much to be thankful for. Each year I thank God for the big blessings in my life such as, my family, friends, church, and God Himself. But sometimes, I forget the smaller things. I forget how fortunate I am to own my own Bible, never mind multiple Bibles. I forget that being able to SEE the Bible with two eyes is a blessing. Being able to HEAR music and worship God through music is something to be extremely thankful for! We are called to enter God’s gates with thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for, all the way from being able to walk on a daily basis to God’s unconditional love for us, that He would send His one and only son to the cross for us!

I love the song called “Jesus, Thank You,”

“The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend,
The agonies of Calvary.
You, the Perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son,
Drank the bitter cup reserved for me.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.

By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near,
Your enemy made Your friend.
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace,
Your mercy and your kindness know no end.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.”

I can’t comprehend what God has done for us, but by His perfect sacrifice I have been brought near to Him. His blood has washed away all my sin! I once lived a life running away from God, but now I am with Him! “Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,” is an amazing verse in this song. It takes an incredible amount of forgiveness and love to have your enemy now sitting with you at the same table! God has given us an undeserved gift, we should be forever thankful!

Who is God?

Everyone has a different reason for creating a blog. Some people have a desire to update their family and friends about their lives, while others blog to expand their writing and thinking skills. I created a blog to share the truth about our God, to share my amazement for Him and to focus on God alone.

My inspiration while writing this blog comes from John 3:30, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Living in New England in 2010, God is rarely a topic that is discussed, worshiped or praised. God needs to increase in the lives of many! My desire of this blog is to focus on God and not on myself.

Who is God?

God is the creator of the heavens and earth. He made the world and everything in it. Revelation 4:11 says, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by Your will they were created and have their being.”

God sent His one and only son into the world to die for US! He took all our sins on His shoulders as he endured the cross, so that we will be free of the burden of sin, and live an everlasting life in heaven, if we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness from our Savior! God loves us unconditionally and we are His masterpiece made in His own image.

God is... Loving, majestic, selfless, faithful, almighty, omnificent, all-knowing, fair, incomparable and lastly God is INDESCRIBABLE! He is far better than any words that are used to describe Him.
