Today is Thursday, March 30th, 2006; Karen's Korner #769
I got an email from my friend Kim last week and among other things, she wrote, "Thanks, Karen, you are so awesome!"
When I read it, I didn't think or feel too awesome. Inconsistent maybe. Confused some probably. You know how we are sometimes.
We use the word awesome sometimes to describe God. A popular Christian song right now is "Our God is an Awesome God".
My dictionary says the word awesome means "a mixed feeling of reverence, fear, and wonder.......caused by being noble, exalted, and majestic......."
Good description of God, but me?
God gently reminded me that I am His Child and that is how HE sees me: "awesome"!
That is how He sees you!!
Sometimes I forget who I am and what I possess; sometimes I forget who you are and all the wonderful things you possess. Thanks to Kim.......and to God.......I am reminded.
When you finish reading this Karen's Korner, say to yourself or out loud several times,
"God, you are so awesome!"
"Thank you, God, that you think I am awesome!"
"I am an awesome person, God says so!"
Dear God, Thank you for your presence in each one of our lives. Thank you that you think higher thoughts about each one of us than we have a tendency to think of ourselves. You are Love. You are Light. You are Power. You are so many other things and because You are, you can pass along these gifts to each one of us. Thanks for being awesome.........and for thinking the same way about each of us. We certainly don't deserve it, but that's part of our inheritance. Thank you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
