Our God is a Big God

"Our God is a Big God."

I had a great conversation with a friend yesterday and she was the one that made that comment. It struck me pretty hard yesterday and I've been reflecting on that ever since. I mean really, what a cool statement, right?! It's true, our God is a BIG God. He has our backs, wants to free us, wants to love us, and will always be there. Yet most of the time I forgot that He ultimately can and will do anything for us if we turn to Him. That gives me so much hope.

Lately, I've been in a place of making a lot of distractions for myself. It's that place where you try to fill in whatever you are feeling with so many other things rather then dealing with it. I bet you know what I mean. I wanted to be my own god in a way. Ah, that's a little scary. But I think that place which I was in doesn't actually allow God to move in amazing ways. I made Him into a really small God. It was a little backwards.

I don't want to live in a place where I do not allow God to be big if that makes sense. What would happen if people that believed in God started to really trust God and believed that He could do things for us, our community, and our world? He's a BIG God! Nothing is impossible for Him. Nothing! No matter what I'm going through, what my friends are going through, what the people on the streets are going through, God will be there.

Thank you, God, for being a big God!

Much love,
Stacie :)
