Amazing Grace

Last night, when I woke up for drinks around 1 or 2 am, I don’t why i had to do it outside. When I stood in front of my room and watched the sky, suddenly there’s a flash in the sky and it made the sky SO beautiful. The view was great and held my breath. Then I suddenly remember the song “How great Thou art”. So, this is what the writer mean when he wrote all those words. Praise God, for His wonderful works in this universe. Our god is an awesome God.

I came back to my room and find a book to read. After searching for minutes, I find an old book which I haven’t finished yet. I took the book and started to read. The section that I read made me adore God more than ever. The section title is He loves to be with the ones He loves. Max Lucado gives a parable about a young man who try to save his parents from a burning house. He had been injured from that event. His face was burned and disfigured. The man wouldn’t let anyone see him-not even his wife. Then his wife went to a plastic surgeon for help and the doctor said he could restore her husband’s face. The wife was unenthused because her husband had repeatedly refused any kind of help and she knew he would again.

Then why she came to the surgeon?? she said “I want you to disfigure my face so I can be like him!If I can share his pain, maybe he will let me back into his life.” Oucchh..She wants to be the one she loves.

The way the woman felt for her husband is the way God feels about us. But he did more than make the offer. He took our disfigurement and became like us. He wants to be with you. He wants to feel what you feel. He loves to be with the ones he loves. God is so great!

Taken from a friend,

So what can I say about God’s grace? it is unspeakable. it is beyond my understanding. Deeper than the ocean, higher than the heaven, wider than the universe.
Never a trial that He is not there
Moment by moment we are under His care

“Then sing my soul, my saviour God to Thee. How great Thou art”
