Quam Magnus Deus

Quam Magnus Deus! How great is our God! I cannot thank my Father enough for who he is and how he works in my life. It absolutely astonishes me how often and how much I underestimate him. I'm watching one of my friends make a huge transition in his life. When I met him only last semester, he was a very firm atheist. But over the course of about the last month, I have watched God transform his life. He told me how God is changing him and working in him...words I honestly never expected to hear come from my friend's mouth. This same friend brought some humbling conviction to me as well. Again, not a source that I would have expected. And like God's conviction seems to always be, it was painful. It hurts to unroot something we've let grow in our lives, but the fruit in the end is always so much better.
God continues to do things, stir things in my heart in ways I honestly cannot express. I cannot begin to express my gratefulness in how he works. He places people in my life at exactly the right time. How incredible is that?? And that's only MY life. He works that way with everyone! And honestly, if God works through me half as much as he has been through these people he keeps bringing into my life, I am incredibly honored. And to anyone in my life that I haven't thanked for listening to the prompting of the Spirit and helping to guide me, THANK YOU! But most of all, thank you to my dear, heavenly Father!

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
-Psalm 147:5
