Brag on God Friday

9/15/2011

It's All About Him

God loves! He loves me, and you. Not because we are so great, but because He is. What a relief! I know there is a lot about me that is not lovable. Oh how I don't deserve it.

It's not about me and it's refreshing.

God uses us to glorify Himself. Not because of how great we are, but because of how great He is. So freeing. I can cease striving and know that He is God. There is room for my failure in His bigness. And I'm glad I don't walk alone but march along with the unqualified.
I got to speak Tuesday to a group on one of my favorite things this week, heaven (and hell-but that is definately not a favorite.) Students were encouraged, me amazed. It blows my mind how God can take the imperfect, the flawed, the forgetful and use them to encourage and inspire. To do something eternal through the finite. How crazy is that!? We seriously have a truly Amazing and Outstanding God!

The beauty of inadequacy draws me.
The more we see God as He truly is, the more we see ourselves as we truly are. Inadequate made adequate by Him. Insuffiecient given sufficiency through Him. Unholy, unrighteous yet made holy and made righteous through the blood of Christ.

We are not, yet He Is.
May we make less and less of ourselves and more and more of Jesus.

It's always so exciting to me to think about how God is being made known all across the world through our partnership! Awesome!

Link up your posts that Brag On God and put a link to this list or put my button code (found under the Brag On God Fridays Tab) on your post for people to find these awesome stories of how incredible God is.

Hi Laura - I am so humbled that Christ even considers me worthy of His time let alone His love. Great reminder that He loves us because of who HE is.
God bless

Bragging on God here every Friday is truly a blessed opportunity!

Yes, this life is really ALL ABOUT HIM. And when I consider His greatness - who am I that He will love, know and use me? And that is exactly what makes Him AMAZING! One of my favorite comforting truths is: The Lord's unfailing love covers all my sparce places - those flaws and shortcomings - for HE IS ENOUGH. His grace is sufficient.

Have a blessed weekend with your beautiful family, Laura.

The beauty of inadequacy draws me - my inadequacy used by Him... Great thoughts. Beautifully stated.

It is wonderful when we can share with a group and they are blessed. (and we too are blessed) The amazing thing is when you write a blog and think it isn't that good, and someone is blessed. We may never know who is being touched as we share our thoughts about God and how real he is. Thank you so much for hosting this blog hop.

Laura - thank you for this reminder that God "doesn't always call the qualified, but qualifies the called."

Blessings,
Joan

this is beautiful and I'm so thankful He sees not the way we do.....and it's b/c of His love not what we deserve. ☺

I am in awe that God loves us despite all our weaknesses and flaws. I am rejoicing that God is God and I am His.

Living for Him, Joan
