LIVING IN AWE.
-Hilda Mbonu.
Ever wondered how someone can love you even before you get to know them?
Or how someone you may sometimes disregard has the best plans for your life?
Come to think of it, why does someone so great, full of power choose me to love?
How can I get so much consistent love and grace from someone to whom I’ve been so unfair?
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. (Ephesians 3:18-19).
I’m still thinking of the answers to this and I won’t provide answers to these questions. I just live in awe of the Love of God. God’s love is too great to fully understand. It’s perfect. Guilt and worry are in no competition with my daily dose of love from my creator.
When I offend my creator countless times, He loves me still. I build my confidence in Him through this undying love He has for me. He loves me so much that he creates an excellent plan for me and doesn’t stop there, he even helps to execute it.
This love from my creator has made me cry and smile, I cry because it feels undeserving a lot of times. I cry because I know that no matter the life I Chose to live; my creator still loves me. Like the songwriter would say, it’s overwhelming, never-ending and reckless. My creator loves me regardless.
The most beautiful part of it all, it’s not about what I do or who I may be, He has chosen to love me way before I knew myself. His Love is complete, all-consuming, with no traces of doubt. A lot of words describe this kind of love; secure, patient, kind, selfless, humble, forgiving, truthful, polite, content, tolerant, and my favorite- it never fades away.
