We live on a blue planet with a sky that changes colors, that circles a ball of fire at just the right distance, next to a moon that moves the sea, and you still don't believe in miracles? Hello fellow Earth dwellers, if you would take a moment to find the nearest window, take a look out, and simply say thank you to the incredible God that made it all for us, I bet he would appreciate it.
This week i had a small conversation that really made me think about how mind blowing life really is. We were texting emojis back and forth on snapchat with pointless ambition (i know youre reading this & you know who you are), and while scrolling through the endless emojis i realized something seemingly irrelevant but it kinda hit me. Like, God created all this stuff. He gave us the the pizza & the chocolate, (thanks man), the little moon emoji, yeah he created that, the christmas tree and the santa? HBD JC, all the flags? his people. My personal favorite emoji is the adorable little elephant, and he designed that elephant, along with all the other incredible animals He thought up. I know this all seems like Sunday school talk, but I think that alot of the time we take for granted the incredible blessings our God has given us.
God is crazy in love with us, he wants to give us everything we could ever desire, and he did, he does. He tells us, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." (John 14:6) He gives us a path to life eternal with him in heaven. The beautiful Earth we live on now is nothing compared to the heaven we are destined to join Him in. All we have to do is love back. Love Him and give our lives to Him. It’s not that hard, Jesus makes it easy to love Him. I guarantee that if you let Jesus into your life, let him into places you didn’t think you could, you will find so much joy. Joy in the simplest things, like scrolling through emojis.
