Sufficient

Now, my blog doesn't do wonders. I don't write as well as I wish I could. People don't email me and ask me to be their friend. I don't have massive amounts of facebook stalkers. No one writes me fan mail. I'm nobody, really. Bottom of whatever food chain whatever. Not even that funny.

But I keep writing anyway.

For what, I don't know. It's so different from writing and I can tell you (not show) that penning down in BB is worlds apart. Not just the form but also the content.


But yeah, the other day I was just reading Isaiah 41 and it's basically about God choosing us as His servants.


It's really not enough to stay stagnant and just keep recieving God's love. I believe there's a greater purpose in life than merely Finding God - it's also growing closer to Him, and being a Light in the darkness! Servanthood.

Anyway, I don't particularly know where this blog post is going. (argh so commercialised I hate it hate it) and I've digressed too much.

So, real deal goes.

Isaiah 41:14 says,

"Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."


This verse reached out and waved it's hand at me. It's so hard to miss.



Many of us know the power of God; of His great love - so great that He sent His Son - a part of Him, really, to die.

And even though I understand this fact, and believe in it, I sometimes just cannot get to terms with it.

But this verse is really yet another piece of evidence of God's love. It's incredible how God wants to have a personal relationship with us. He WANTS to! He desires, yearns. It isn't in His job description. He doesn't even consider it a Job.

And precisely because of His love that He HIMSELF wants to bless us.


How good is that!

My God is NOT a God of sub-standards.
There's no hierarchy to this. He doesn't give us hand-me-downs. Old goods. Second hand stuff.
Rather, He offers HIMSELF to us!
Yes, that means that He isn't too far, too great, too grand, too mighty, too powerful for us! Or rather, we aren't too small - TOO UNIMPORTANT FOR HIM


God is Good. Yes, we've established that fact. He's the Best there ever was - better than we can ever comprehend.

But yet He isn't 'Up there'.

He's beside us. All the way. When we trip and fall, He's with us. When we walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, He's walking with us.

And He doesn't just tag along, He WANTS to do things for us. Change our lives and turn our seasons around and direct our paths for us! Personally. Like, intimate, one-to-one, in your face yeah you get it.


Like the CEO of say, Coca-Cola or whatever filling in for the toilet-cleaning aunty's duties.


It doesn't really make sense, does it.
I don't get it. I don't suppose I ever will - not in this life anyway.


Remember, God Himself wants to help us.


Knowing that God is not only on my side, but fighting my battles FOR me has just made my day so much better. So whatever life throws at me, I know I can handle it - because it's really God handling it FOR me.

Only if I let Him.


And why wouldn't I?



Really, Why wouldn't you?
