I had quite despaired of ever completing this post on my 2nd response. In fact tonight at work (3:30 am) as I was meditating on and enjoying God I thought of my blog and was thinking of what I could post to encourage myself and whoever else happens to read my scribblings. Then I realized I had yet to write this post and I instantly felt discouraged. I have tried so many times to write this response and every time it is disjointed, awful, awful writing. I was thinking about just skipping this post altogether when the Lord lay this on my heart. I don't know if it will encourage any of you but it was an encouragement to me to meditate on these truths. The format is gonna be a little different but I think you can handle it. In the next series of statements I am referring to my understanding of these truths. Hopefully that makes sense.
NEVER
has God been so BIG, so GLORIOUS, so AWESOME, so HOLY
NEVER
has man been so small
NEVER
has my sin been so heinous before a Holy Judge
NEVER
has man been so deserving of God's righteous wrath
NEVER
has my need for a savior been so great
NEVER
has grace been so undeserved
NEVER
has such love been shown
NEVER
has a cross been so beautiful
NEVER
has my love for God been stronger, deeper, truer, realer
FOREVER
I will sing my Saviors praises
FOREVER
I am grateful for His mercy so free
FOREVER
He is worthy
FOREVER
only He satisfies
FOREVER
I will fix my eyes only on Jesus
FOREVER
I will proclaim His glory
FOREVER
He is King over all
FOREVER
I will worship Him alone throughout eternity
