"God has so much for us. We have no idea. We look for crumbs under the table; He has prepared a feast for us in the royal banquet hall." Quote from Stormie Omartian.
I thought that was so encouraging I wanted to share it to lift us up and help us shift our perspective up a notch or three today!😊
Our God is wanting to do so much more for us, in us, and through us, than we can ever understand and He's trying to help us open up our hearts to receive all He has prepared for us. So often we have a bit of a stranglehold on our own lives because of our upbringing, our present circumstances, past mistakes, or whatever, and we can find it hard to believe and receive all God wants to lavish on us sometimes.
Lavish is such an extravagant sounding word isn't it? But that describes our God. He lavished His love on the human race when He sent Jesus into the world on the first Christmas day knowing full well He would be crucified only thirty three years later to save us all. That is extravagant, lavish love isn't it?
Romans 8:32 ...He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not freely give us all things?
Lord we thank You for loving us so extravagantly. Help us to take the limits off ourselves to receive not only Your Son Jesus into our hearts this Christmas, but all the other wonderful things He has for us too. Amen.
