God’s Majesty

It's not every day that I feel peace about where God has me, but today is one of those rare days.  In church on Sunday, I was struck by God’s magnitude, beauty, and love.  I was reminded of how HUGE God is and how this whole universe worships Him as its creator.  Who am I, but a small breath of air compared to Him?  At times I worry... about small things like money, friends, teaching, future, etc.  I think about my life and isolate it from God’s plan, not just for me, but for all of His creation.  He takes joy in His magnificent creations that are beyond my comprehension, and even though humans are the created beings that defy him and keep returning to the thought that this life is about us, He values us above all of his creation.  A love like that floors me and I don't even understand it. 

I live in a place that used to harbor hate and relentless murder.   Fear sometimes overcomes my loved ones because they are scared for my life living in a place with such a violent history.  I admit, sometimes I get scared too, but more so, I am not scared to die.  Days like today remind me of what true life is, and it isn't here.  I may physically live in Rwanda, Kigali, Gaculiro, but my heart lives with Jesus.  Everything this life offers is NOTHING compared to knowing and being known by my creator!  I wanted to share the video that played such a large part in harvesting peace in my heart.  So, here it is!  Click on the link below and watch all the way to the end.
