Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace.
Until today, I don't know that I'd ever actually processed what that means.
But I can honestly say, God's Grace IS amazing.
Breath-taking. Spectacular. Undeserved.
The closer I get to God, the more inadequate I feel. The more inadequate I feel, the more amazed I am by the God that, for some reason, loves me.
Even when I suck. Even when I allow my fears to take the wheel, He's waiting for me to turn back to Him.
To run back into His loving arms.
His grace is enough.
His grace is sufficient. MORE than sufficient, it's over-the-top wonderful.
Even when I'm insecure. Even when I allow things of this world to take hold of me. Even when I turn my gaze from Him.
He extends grace undeserved.
And I am eternally grateful.
Because when I finally realize the depth of my despair, and turn my gaze to our Creator, I realize.
He is breath-taking. Spectacular. Inspiring.
And I wonder, how did I let myself get distracted?
How did I allow myself to tear my fixed gaze from His face?
Because when I seek after God and truly gaze at His being -
I can't speak.
I can't breathe.
I can't blink.
Our Creator is beautiful.
Revel in His glory.
Revel in His beauty.
Revel in the fact that He created you in His image.Revel in the fact that our God desires a relationship with us.
That just blows me away completely.
When I truly take time to pause and stare at our Heavenly Father,
I can't help but stop in my tracks.
I want to run around telling everyone about Him.
I want to scream it from the tops of the mountains.
I want to whisper it into the wind.
Because everyone deserves this.
This is love.
God is love.
God is the definition of love.
And I love Him.
His Grace is more than sufficient.
It is satisfactory.
It fills.
It satisfies.
