You have my heart
And I am yours forever
You are my strength
God of grace and power

And everything
You hold in Your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand
Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change, God, You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing love
Unfailing love

You are my rock
The One I hold on to
You are my song
And I sing for You

And everything
You hold in Your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand
Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change, God, You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing love
Unfailing love

This song by Chris Tomlin is a reminder of how great and wonderful God is. This morning I had my Scientific Thought final. I was dreading it. Not because I didn't like the class, mind you. But because I wasn't doing well in the class (It went a lot better than I thought it might). But as I think back to the final, to the class itself, I am reminded at how awesome God is. He created the world and everything in it. Birds, animals, sea, land, sky - everything was created by Him and for a purpose.

Then He created me. Man. Woman. Why? Because He wanted someone He could fellowship with. Someone that could worship and praise Him. He loves us and wants us to love Him back. He shows us His love through Creation. Through providing what we need. Through salvation. There are so many ways He shows us love, and yet, how much does it take for us to show our love to Him? A lot more than we're willing to give. He gave us so much. He did so much for us. He could be doing anything else right now, but He chooses to listen and answer our prayers. He chooses to give us things we need - and don't need. He is amazing!! It's so hard to describe it...

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. I John 4:9-11

Ultimate love. Unfailing love. God's love.

Awesome.
