His Amazing Love

If you're like me, you may have days when you wonder just how much God really loves you. I believe my life is an evidence of not just the love of God but His un-ending Grace. One of my all time favorite preachers to listen to is Bishop T.D Jakes. Most times when I'm at work and I'm crunching down on my numbers, I either listen to worship songs or his messages. Speaking of, it's really crazy how much I've changed what I use to entertain my ears. I wonder if it's because I'm in a different place in life now that comes with growing up or if it's because we really don't have any radio stations out here for black people like me. Lol. Either way, I have no idea what's in rotation these days. Honestly, I don't think it bothers me. Back to Bishop Jakes...

I listened to one of his messages recently that reminded me yet again of the unbelievable love my father in heaven has for me. The message was focused around knowing who you are in God. He briefly mentioned Luke 12:7, which reads "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows". Now this is a passage I've read/heard/quoted several times but I never thought about it the way Bishop Jakes presented it. That's the beauty of the word of God though, how one passage can have several lessons behind it.

He said God loves us so much that he numbered the hair on our head! Not counted, numbered! If He counted, He would have a total number. However, I'm so valuable to him that He numbered my hair. That means each hair on my head has a number to it. I have this thing I do when my scalp itches. I find the location, narrow it down to a particular strand of hair and I pull it out. Weird I know, but ooh it feels good when that strand comes out. Lol. Anyways, whenever I've done that, God knows that I just pulled out strand number 20,647!!! What kind of love it that?! Am I the only one that never thought about it that way? If you have then you're ahead of me. If you haven't, I want you to know that God really loves you that much.

It doesn't matter what's going on in your life. He KNOWS, He CARES, He LOVES. He is in every detail. Hear me clearly, every last detail. Keep that in mind as you start this new week.
