I'm Amazed...

I'm amazed at the refining that God can do in a short time.

I am also amazed at Satan's power and how he preys on us.

I'm amazed at this God of mine who pursues my heart endlessly, no matter how fickle or selfish it has been and can be.

I'm amazed at what He can do in the course of nine months, even three weeks.

I'm amazed at how wretched a sinner I am.

I'm amazed at His redemptive work within me.

I'm amazed at the level of fear that once lived within me.

I'm amazed at how He ordains things so perfectly.

I'm amazed at the blessings He gives unabashedly when we don't deserve them at all, and how he keeps on giving.

I'm amazed with the intricacies He creates our hearts with and knows what makes them beat fervently and what makes them pause.

I'm amazed that He knows every tear we've cried and is the giver of all joy that we have.

I'm amazed at this God who somehow deemed me worthy to send His son to die for me, and who has given His Holy Spirit to live within me.

I'm amazed at the fact that I can see and understand in part what the future holds, yet at the same time, have absolutely no idea.

I'm amazed at the gift of prayer in which we can deeply commune with Him.

I'm amazed by so many things...

Things I have seen...

Things I am seeing...

And the fact that I have seen nothing yet.

It's my God that leaves me

Simply amazed.
