It's the topic of every news report and brings a new meaning to the obligatory "so the weather" conversation starter, but it's seems impossible to reflect on a day like today without mentioning it. Life seems fragile again. Though not just physical life. Relationships are just as susceptible to huge tides and runs of destructive winds which tear at their fabric. I hear today of a family, torn apart by years of marital miscommunication and infidelity only to rip apart two families each with 3 kids.
It seems amazing that God would decide to love and cherish something so fragile, so needing of protection and love. As humans we destroy the earth and spit in Gods face, yet he loves us. It doesn't seem to matter what happens to us, what relationships are flattened in our sinful stupidity or the physical pain or suffering our human body feels, one thing and only one remains the same... We are loved, even of we don't reciprocate... We are loved.
Today I am hit by the strength, depth and constant nature of God's love. The amazing saving work of our savior Jesus, leads me to feel so proud and in awe of God. We have been given so much, despite the weather and situations that cause us to feel at wits end. What a special gift and a special God.
Thanks
Tim
