what God taught me through theproposal


i have seen this movie four times now...i know. pathetic. i just somehow keep ending up in the dollar theater.

after one of these outings i came home in a mood. i think you all know what i mean lol. i loved sandra bullock's character because i saw in her so much of the person i can so easily be...the person God is trying to teach me not to be.

but anyway - when i got home that night i was laying in bed thinking about how after all the horrible things she'd said and done, somebody still loved her (yes i know this is hollywood...). i started thinking about all the sin in my life and how horrible and imperfect a person i am and wondered how anyone could love someone like me.

but then...faithful and true God's still small voice whispered in my ear "I love you. I died for you. I love you more than any mortal person every could. You are mine and I am shaping and molding you to become more and more like me. don't ever forget that."

it was like a loud wake up call and a soft goodnight hug at the same time. i was so thankful for that realization and that God put things back into perspective for me. :)
