I Stand Amazed

"And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, he was able also to perform."
- Romans 4:20,21

Sometimes my faith is weak. Life hits me and I'm left reeling and asking the hard questions and wondering if God is real or if He even cares. Is He personally interested in me? Does He speak to me and if so, how can I know it's Him?

Although I know in my head that He loves me, it takes something to get it to my heart. Things happen I don't understand and I cry out again, "Where are you, God? Do you REALLY care??"

This morning I asked God to show me some tangible proof of His love for me - something I would KNOW was Him.

I went to church not feeling very loved and not really being "into" Valentine's Day for, of course, love is the focus. But, I thought, maybe God would use someone there to show me His love. It was a good service and there were lots of things said about love but nothing outstanding to me. After the service the pastor and his wife passed out candy and told us it was to remind us of God's love for us. That was great, but still it didn't feel like God's sign just to me.

After lunch with my sister I headed home and as I neared my place I noticed the flag was up on my mailbox. I thought that was kind of strange and decided to stop and look inside. AND THERE IT WAS! My special love-gift from God! I couldn't believe it! There was no card or note so it must have been an angel straight from heaven! (Wish I could've gotten a glimpse of him!)
Now, in case you're wondering WHAT He sent me - that's the best part!:) I opened a cute little box filled with heart-shaped Reese's(my very favorite kind of chocolate!) and pink balloons. Besides that there was a book titled "His Princess - Love letters from your King"! All I could do was weep! If that isn't love, then I don't know what is!

He is my God and what He has promised He will do! Thank you, Jesus!!
