You know, if I didn’t major in engineering, I did want to study sociology and possibly psychology, to learn how humans think and behave. It has always been a “hobby” of mine. Take driving for instance, I usually try to predict the behaviors of the drivers around me, depending on the cars and current behaviors and such. This comes in handy especially if I need to rush somewhere. Of course, I can’t nail down the behaviors all the time and get all of them right…
But as I was driving to a church meeting last night and noticing all these horrendous (and dangerous) drivers all around me, a thought struck me. Why would God love a human being? How could he love me?! They are not new questions. In fact, I’ve been there loads of times… but it never ceases to amaze me how God could (and does) still choose to love us, despite our wickedness, despite my selfishness, despite my faults and sins, and I could go on, but I think you get the point.
If it wasn’t for God, I’d be cussing at the stupid drivers all the time and wouldn’t care much for consequences. However, because he chose to forgive me through Christ, I always feel like that servant that was forgiven the million dollar debt, and I want to show that gratitude … to anyone and everyone! Ah the wonders of God’s love… it never ceases to amaze me… I pray that is the case for you also.
