....You See The Depths Of My Heart....

I know we're all probably very familiar with the song by Chris Tomlin (written by Laura Story) entitled "Indescribable". It's a beautiful song talking about creation and how beautiful everything is that God made but most importantly, how beautiful God is. So beautiful, in fact, that He is indescribable.

I'll be perfectly honest, I've been in a bit of a slump this whole semester really as I continue to learn how to balance my life out in college between school projects, working for my department, and also being involved in other's lives - what some may call "being social". But not being social for the sake of hanging out.....being social for the sake of the Gospel. Going out and making disciples.

There are some days when I want to do this and other days when I just want to say "Forget it! I'm done with this, it's too much to handle, too much for me to deal with! My GPA is suffering already, my relationships with my "real friends" are suffering, I'm sorry God, I'm going to have to put you on the back burner!"

If you would like to see selfishness epitomized, hang out with me for a day. So often I forget how great this God is that has saved me from my wretched sinfulness. So often I forget that the greatest joy in the world is found in Christ and found in serving Him for a lifetime. 


I was reminded tonight at a Chris Tomlin concert that God is great and greatly to be praised! Sometimes we need a refresher or something to awaken our souls from a time of "slumping". This concert did it for me tonight. Those lyrics just resonated in my head over and over throughout the night


"You see the depths of my heart.....and You love me the same...."


Sometimes in our puny little human heads we get this idea that God is completely oblivious to our sin and to our wickedness. He just loves us because He really has no idea what we're really like right?? WRONG! God knows everything about us, in fact, He knows more about is than we do! He knows the number of hairs on our head for crying out loud! No, God knows everything there is to know about everyone on the planet and He loves us the same. 


I've heard it said that you can lasso Pluto with a garden hose before God will ever stop loving you. Considering no one will ever lasso Pluto, that's some pretty good news.....
