Extravagant
hey y'all ! today i want to talk to y'all about our extravagant King & the beauty of His kingdom. we get so used to doing the same things everyday & living in the same town & driving down the same roads that we get complacent & i try not to get complacent & i love finding beauty in the mundane bc that's when we really see the full beauty of God, in the mundane. bc then the mundane things become more extravagant & we appreciate the beauty of Him in a bigger way. then the truly complicated & extravagant things seem even more beautiful & extra extravagant ! i love taking a second to stop & look @ the things in my life & just admire them & appreciate them more.
i want you to list out your 3 best friends in life. so think of the first one, now list your top 5 favorite things about them. now think about how y'all met. now think about your favorite memory w that friend. repeat for the other 2 friends. i'm smiling just thinking about my 3 closest friends. i love just talking w them i love doing life w them. God created us for community & i genuinely crave community. i love talking w people & giving advice. i think it's one of those things that God gave me when He created me. i love being someone people can go to & talk about life & how hard it can be. i love giving advice from experience & encouraging them w the Word & praying w them. think about how many qualities that every single person has & how extremely different we all are. some of us just click & others of us don't get along very well. now think about how God created every single one of us in a special way & each of us has a different story & a different finger print. that's crazy. CRAZY. that's how powerful our God is !! He can keep track of it all ! that takes a lot ! i think my life is crazy & i know everyone else has problems, baggage, & responsibilities. He keeps track of all of our lives & He knows what we're going to think in 2 seconds & He knows what shoes we're going to wear tmrw & He knows what our next tweet is going to say & He wants us to be in community with Him !! that's SO COOL ! that's a lot to keep track of & yet He does it w the wiggle of His nose. wow wow wow. that makes me appreciate Him so so much more than i already do. i think He deserves an award.
so today, stop & take a sec to look @ the mundane things in your life & just look a little closer & find the beauty in it. i don't always take a second to look a little closer, but when i do it makes me appreciate God a little more. take a sec to appreciate His extravagance & the beauty of His creation.
