As I lie on the couch (since I have been displaced from my old bedroom by my sister) and get ready to fall asleep I hear my dad snoring in the room next door and I thank God for giving me a few short days back at home with some of my family. How did I get so incredibly blessed?
As I look at all that my God has so graciously given me, I am so humbled. Why me? Why did I get this life? Why did I get parents who have loved me and prayed for me from the moment they knew I was coming into their lives? Why did I get parents who have pointed my eyes toward Christ since day one? Why did I get siblings who have become my best friends and who would do anything in the world for me? Why did I get friends who bless my life with encouragement and love? Why did I get a family who never had to worry about where the next meal would come from or having a roof over our heads? Why has God poured out so many blessings on me?
O how it humbles me to think about all that my God has blessed me with. And then to top it all off, He pours out grace, mercy, and love in abundance! He rescued me from something I would never be able to overcome. O He is so so good!
Recently, on almost what feels like a weekly basis, I am overjoyed almost to the point of tears as I think about what my God has done for me. I don't understand how His love for me could be so deep and so wide, but I am so thankful that He covers me in His loving kindness. His faithfulness amazes me.
I pray that He will transform me to love more like He does. I pray that He will transform my heart to look more like Him. I pray for a humble heart as I worship my God who rescued me from hell. If that isn't a reason to fall before Him and praise our mighty God, I don't know what is!
I have no clue why He has poured out so many blessing on me, but I do know...that to those who have been given much, much will be expected. I pray that God will give me a giving heart, that I might give freely not just of physical things, but also of grace, mercy, and love. O how good our God is!!!
