Sometimes you sit back and realize how awesome God really is. Right now is one of those times. I praise Him for His never-ending goodness, His constant care, His continuous peace, and His incredible, inescapable grace. It becomes more and more obvious to me every day just how inescapable His grace is.
In a recent conversation at the coffee shop in Old Town Helena we tossed around the question..."If you could ask Jesus one question, what would it be?" Mine would be, "How could you do it for me?" I mean, come on.... I understand intellectually that the love of God and Jesus is so greart that He gave His life for all of us. I really do get it in my head, but it blows me away everywhere else. My heart can't get there, and deep down in the pit of my belly (is that where the soul is?) I can't seem to get there either. Truth is.. I know me and I just don't know how Jesus could give it up for me. That is why the more I think about it, the more it confounds me, the more it confuses me, the more it amazes me, the more I realize that it really is inescapable. If He could do it for me than who is on the "outside"? For me the question is no longer 'who's in?', but 'who's not?'.
He truly is an awesome God. Sometimes I just love to sit and rest in the midst of it.

I share this feeling with you. Every time I try to comprehend what God gave up for us lowly sinners, it blows me away. I may never be able to completely understand it, but I sure am thankful for it. God is so good, ALL the time.
