The Wonder of It All

There's the wonder of sunset at evening,
The wonder as sunrise I see;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is the wonder that God loves me.

There's the wonder of springtime and harvest,
The sky, the stars, the sun;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is a wonder that's only begun.

O the wonder of it all!
The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.
O, the wonder of it all!
The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.

"What is man that you are mindful of Him?" Hebrews 2:6
As God has been searching my heart and showing me areas in my life which need changed, I am refreshed to be able to look back now past all the turmoil, pain, and anguish to see God's hands in it all. When things looked really dismal, God was calling me to attention & doing surgery on my soul. When God was repairing my heart, it was excited, fresh and new! Now God is showing me how he was not only working out these things in my life, but in the life of others close to me too! It is such a wonder to me, that he:
1. causes circumstance in my life to look so bleak
2. resulting in my total loss of control
3. leaving my only recourse as full dependence on Him
4. to then discover that it wasn't just about me, he was changing me for others too!

It is painful & humbling, yet exciting and full of mystery & discovery. God is showing me how important it is to trust Him, because He has never failed me, and to remember that he is working all these things together for my good! Praise be to the Lord God Almighty!

As I Keep My Eyes On Jesus the rest of this week...
"Oh! Almighty and Everlasting God, Creator of Heaven, Earth and the Universe: Help me to be, to think, to act what is right, because it is right; make me truthful, honest and honorable in all things; make me intellectually honest for the sake of right and honor and without thought of reward to me. Give me the ability to be charitable, forgiving and patient with my fellowmen - help me to understand their motives and their shortcomings-- even as Thou understandest mine! Amen, Amen, Amen."
--President Harry Truman
