Seeing and believing...

 

My prayer:

I am thinking tonight God about what an amazing privilege it is that we get to pray to you, to lay our needs before you, and that you listen. 

There is no reason for you to listen. You are the ruler of the Universe. You could very rightly think, why should I listen to any human. But instead, you loved us so much that you came to earth in the form of a man and gave up your life so that we could know you and we could pray to you and you could hear us. 

It is pretty inconceivable that you love us that much and that giving us a way to live with you forever was so important to you. I wonder if that is part of why some people have such a hard time accepting it. A hard time believing you did that for us. 

Most of us question, at least at times, if we are truly lovable at all. To believe that you loved us so much you would sacrifice your life to save us, that is pretty crazy. But when we do believe it, when we get to live life with you in it, there is nothing better in the world. 

I may not be able to understand how you could love me that much to do what you did but I can believe it. I can celebrate it and you every day of my life. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not easy for an ant to know the view of the eagle. But that does not mean that the view of the eagle is any more or less real than the view of the ant. Both have their place and their worth. An ant can see things on earth by virtue of his position, that the eagle cannot see. And vice versa, the eagle can see many things the ant cannot see. 

I came to earth to experience life as human to see what you see. And I died so you could be saved and see the world, life and eternity as I see it. 

I love you my child and will share the vision of what I see for as long as you want to look.
