It's Amazing

It is amazing how it all works you know? As humans we are broken, flawed, and weak. We are so fragile emotionally and physically. The intelligence that we have been given is greater than any other creature on earth, yet on the full scale of knowledge we know a little more than nothing. A war wages for our souls, in a realm we cannot see. our choices although our own, are influenced by this war, and at the same time our choice (the big choice) ultimately decides the victor of war for our own soul. Loved ones are lost, hearts are broken, friendships are lost, we often time find ourselves living in fear. Some days, nothing seems to go right. Our lives are mess. we are unstable, unworthy, and ungrateful for any good things in our lives. We continually fall short of our goals. Failing over and over and over again. yet.... For some reason, God sees us. Even in our screwed up world, God plants hope, love, and power into our lives! It's amazing! We don't deserve that! Not only, does he give us hope for our own lives, but we are his plan to share this hope with the world! Sometimes I ask myself; "WHAT IS HE THINKING!!!" What amazing power he has! Even when we are beaten and bruised, emotionally and physically; something in our spirit can rise up contrary to everything in our lives that is against us in our surrounding environment, and in our head, and truth is spoken! Walls come down! People are set free! Something from God flows into us and out of us, like a mighty wrecking ball, and destroys the enemy. I think it is like driving down the street in a rusty old beat up car. Satan laughs at our attempt to lurch down the street, and then the NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) kicks in and his jaw drops.. and he is reminded...
2 Corinthians 4:5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.

Jesus is Amazing!
