How Great Is Our God!

I don't think there is such a thing as over-emphasizing God's love. I know some people would disagree with me. That's fine. I still argue that we need to hear more of God's love, not less.

What is it that draws you to God? Fear that He's angry at you and will suffer His wrath if you disobey? We can obey God out of fear but I don't believe that is what He wants.

To me, it's the overwhelming love of God that brings me to repentance. His love doesn't make me think I can do anything I want and He will excuse it because He loves me. No. His love shows me where I've gone astray and gives me the courage to come back to Him and in my unworthiness ask for forgiveness. Again. And because of that forgiveness I am set free and can go on, instead of wallowing in fear, doubt, self-pity and such things.

Today the song "How Great Is Our God" kept ringing in my head. If only we could see Him as He truly is!! I get glimpses now and then and it makes me want to see more...
