Often times, I will come across a thought that perplexes me. Draws me in. Makes me want to ponder over it more and more. Brings me to a place of wonder and awe. And leaves me wanting to know more. This is one of those thoughts.....
Not because of what He has done for us.
Not for what we want Him to do for us.
Not for what He will do for us.
He didn't have to die on that cross for us.
He didn't have to create me or you.
He didn't have to get you into college or place you into the wonderful family you're in.
But He did.
But He didn't HAVE to.
God doesn't HAVE to show favor.
He doesn't HAVE to do anything.
He. is. God.
So why do I often times find myself praising Him because of what He's done for me?
Which is great.
Because I should praise Him for the wonderful things he has blessed me with.
But He didn't HAVE to bless me.
Would I still praise Him if I was born into a broken family, lived a broken life, and never felt a sense of happiness or love?
So praise God. Glorify God. Love God.
Because of WHO HE IS. Not because of what He's done for you.
But because HE IS GOD and there is no other.
Because HE IS LORD and there is none like Him.
What if we loved God Because. He. is. God.
Period.
You think about that.
Forever His,
Rachel
