Well I went couponing for the first time today and all I can say is I'm excited :) I got some pretty good buys. But it got me thinking, whenever I got something for a lower price I got so excited. And I wonder if that is how God feels, when we as His children easily and smoothly surrender to Him without raising a ruckus or not trusting in Him fully it seems like he got a good price if you know what I mean. Can you imagine how much Jesus trully paid for us? Okay just think about this. . .
We lust
We covet
We murder
We lie
We worship other idols
We turn away from God
We cuss
We surround ourselves in earthly things!
Now imagine this. . .you have a son. The doctors tell you he is the only one you will ever have no other children. And he is the perfect child. You are proud of him because by twelve he is already learning college courses. When he gets older he doesn't devote himself to girls or lustful thinking he devotes himself to you. Wherever he goes you know he is safe. That most people love him and care about him. Then one morning you see him for breakfast and by afternoon he is dead. Men have whipped him till he had no skin on his back. They pushed thorns into his head making his hair fill with blood. They have put nails in his hands and feet and nailed him to a tree. Then all you can see is how your perfect son got piled with all the sins of the world. Do you realize that it wasn't just Jesus who went through pain (and it was REALLY REALLY REALLY horrible pain) God did too. Jesus came from God, he's part of him, so whatever pain Jesus was feeling God was feeling to. So after we've already made God go through pain thousands and millions of times before shouldn't we let him have a little relief? Try tonight surrendering your whole self and nothing but it, and see what God asks you to do! The results are amazing! Give him a good deal because we aren't worth it but he is paying every penny anyway!!!!
