Hallelujah, light has come

I have been listening to this song by BarlowGirl (yes I am listening to Christmas music already!) and it has gotten my mind thinking about how amazing God is and how truly unworthy I am to have a relationship with him. He came to save me, knowing what I would do to disgrace Him. I feel like I cannot get close to God like I want to no matter how hard I try lately. I am so frustrated with my inability to trust and lean on Him. I KNOW what to do, I just seem to choose not to most days. Listening to this song and thinking of My Savior as an innocent infant, and then realizing He was innocent His entire life. How humbling is that? He truly is amazing.

I was reading my Bible this morning and loved the verse in Zephaniah 3:17 I love this verse and how it expresses God's love for me. It really overwhelms me when I think of how much He loves me and how much of my sinful, selfish desires must offend Him. He only wants me to love Him. HE delights in me???? He sings over me???? His grace and forgiveness make me think about my relationships. If God almighty can forgive me and delight in me...surely I can forgive and take delight in people He has placed in my life. God you are amazing!

The Lord your God is with you,

He is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you,

He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17
