The Miracle of Life

Everyday that we live, we are living a miracle. We are the creation of God and as I have said before, He loves us so much He created us in His image. "So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27.

There is a song that we sing in our church, that goes something like this:

Lord I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every breathe that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me

We have been singing this song quite a bit lately and every time that we sing it, I have to stop and thank God for giving me breathe. He gave me life and He gave it to me like He wanted me to have it. I am tall and skinny because God wanted me to be. I imagine Him saying to Himself 'I want this precious daughter of mine to be tall and skinny because...' of some reason I may never know. The air we breathe, the life we have were all given by Him. The sins I committed were washed under His blood because He manifested himself in flesh and died for us on the cross. There is no love like God can give. There is no one greater to love than Him. I can sing that song over and over again and I would feel the same each time. He did it for me because He loves me and He cares.

These are the times when all I can say is "Thank You Jesus!"
