Oh How He Loves Us

The night sky is one of the things that shows God's unbeatable power and unrelenting love the most to me. As a friend so eloquently put it in a song she wrote, "how can you look at the sky and say that there is no God?". The beauty of the night never ceases to amaze me. The fact that the same God that created me created something that beautiful is unbelievable. But if it didn't all come from Him, where could it have come from? There's no other explanation.
Tonight I was able to sit under the stars with my guitar and worship the God of the universe. What a gift. God loves us. Just step outside and look at what He gave us to live in. This earth, this night, is all a gift from God. It magnifies His beauty and power, and lets us know He's there. Even if you don't feel him, He's in the earth. He's in the stars. He's everywhere.
A good friend asked if I would sing the song "He Loves Us" by John Mark McMillan. It goes like this:

"He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of the sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me."

If the night sky doesn't make you feel His love, I'm not sure what will. His glory shines, literally, with the stars. Praise God.
