Alex on #ImpressivelyGreat

Have you come face to face with the amazing, incredible, majestic, heroic, and impressively great God?

I love taking pictures of sunsets, sunrises, mountains, flowers, and other aspects of nature. When I look back over my previous pics and I see something glorious - I can't help but be amazed and in awe. God made the sunrise you slept through this morning and he made the sunset you'll see as you get ready tonight. God made these incredible things.

Do you stand in awe of Him? Do you smile at his creation, thank him for his gifts, and talk with him each day? When you look at God and what he's made, are you amazed? Or do you pass it off as "normal"? Hey, there's nothing normal about a baby's new life or how clouds hang poised in the air, or how trees grow... those things are incredible.

Building 429 sings a song called "Incredible", which says:

You have made the sun
And the moon and the stars
And the wind and the fire and the rain
It's so beautiful
And you saved my soul
Gave me hope in the midst of the joy and the pain
And I know
It's incredible

I've found that the more I see God's creation, the more I love God. God is so awesome! And what about people? People are also God's creations, and we are called to love them more than we love ourselves.

To make our lives impressively great (or "epic!"), we need to love God and love people.

It's not about me, it's about Him and them.
