Tonight I stayed home from Bible study. I just didn't feel up to going what with the way I hurt my back yesterday at work. But I'm glad I stayed home, because I used my hour in a quiet house to talk to Jesus, and it was an hour well spent. I love spending time with Him. I'm ashamed of myself that I sometimes don't make it the priority I should. It seems especially silly when I remember how wonderful it is, and how much more peaceful I feel after I spend time just being with Him.
Somehow I found myself with tears in my eyes, looking out the patio door at the sunset and the just-appearing stars, and thanking Him for all that He is for me, and all that He's done for me. When I really stop to think about how good He is, I feel completely overwhelmed by Him. How could He love someone like me? How could He see all the bad in me, and yet shower me with love and compassion? How could He see what I've done, and yet extend grace--again and again and again and again? How could He not only forgive my sins, but lavish His blessings on me? How could He surprise me, in so many times and in so many ways, with blessings that are so undeserved?

I stand, I stand in awe of You
I stand, I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of You
I stand, I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of You
