Incomprehensible Grace

I love that feeling that a person gets when one is in love. Lately I have been getting that feeling when I think about God. Not that I am able to measure God's love, but simply that I can feel His love around me. But, what happens when a person stops feeling that love and turns to other things to fill that “love spot” in their hearts. For me it was turning to lust to fill the hole.

I know I have shared my story hear before, but I will refresh your memory...

I was abused at a very pivotal time in my life. This time is known as puberty. I have to say that it really messed me up in the head for a long time. Thoughts of suicide ran through my mind on what seemed like a never ending basis.

It has taken years to clean the hurt and pain out of my life from this time in my life, but with the help of friends and my wife I am on the road to healing.

The great news is that God's love is so deep, so wide, so huge, and incomprehensible, that He gave His perfect, one and only Son to murder by you and I so that we could be completely free from the sin that is in our lives. We are so blessed by the grace of God and yet so undeserving.
