The enormity of God's love

July 11 2005
So I just got out of worship at the Ohana Court here in Hawaii, and it was so incredible! The worship here is very free, and it's really funny to watch people giving glory to God through dancing around. I couldn't help but smile at all of these people willing to give everything for God! I was standing next to a guy from South Korea. What was amazing though was that I looked over at Him while we were worshiping, and tears were flowing down his face. This man was just like me, and in some amazing way God had reached out to this guy and changed his life just as he had mine. One of the pieces of God's love that captivates me is his consistency with us. The one man that has never given up on me no matter what is God and I am blown away by that. I found myself crying out to God this morning asking Him to forgive me for turning away from Him, and going after my own plans. I can see Him with a big smile on his face saying, "I love you, and I don't care what you've done. It's history. I have so much planned for you." Isn't that exciting? To know that the plans God has for us are huge and awesome! God's love is so complex, and I love it because we can spend eternity consuming it in our hearts with unique changes everyday! I pray that each day all of you in Tennessee are consuming God's love to the extent that you are moved. I pray that we would take the boldness already given to us and proclaim his love to the nations. I pray that all of you are moved at the fact that God has simply never left your side. He loves you more than you will ever understand in this lifetime! How great is our God!!!
