Sometimes, I have to just sit a second and say out loud to Him, "Has that always been there?"
I do believe He enjoys a good laugh at our enthusiasm sometimes!
This portion of scripture is just an absolute gorgeous insight to how God truly feels about us.
To give so freely to beings so unworthy is, and always will be, mind boggling.
We have all been taught and have read of God's unfailing love, but when I read this verse tonight, I had to stop and bask in the first four words.
"But when the kindness..."
The kindness...
Wow!
Maybe I am alone here, but that word "kindness" just struck my heart so deeply.
I have known since I was about 6 years old and made my first walk to the altar and cried my little eyes out for Christ, that I was loved.
"Jesus loves me, this I know..."
We all know that he does. And if you don't, you are only a prayer away from that.
But tonight, I am thanking God for opening my eyes to, not only His love, but to His kindness.
There is such a strength to that word that we miss.
Love, Mercy, Grace, KINDNESS.
Father, I pray today for your kindness to be poured out unto us that we may share it with others. We live in a mean world that is screaming for a little kindness. I want to be that kindness, LORD, to everyone I meet. I thank you so much in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
