Stargazing and history

If you know me, then this will not come as a shock to you…but I am obsessed with stars. Which is interesting considering my fear of the dark…anyhow, I have always loved stars. I could tell you a lot about them…and they always point me right back to the Lord.. but last night (well…..this morning) I was laying on my back looking at the stars, (because it was a clear beautiful night in Auburn, Alabama) and I just loved it. I seriously think the way to my heart is stargazing with me. Anyways I just got off topic a little bit. So back to 2:30 a.m. As I rested there, I was mesmerized at the portrayal of beauty and power displayed by the Lord. The thing that just captured me last night is how old the stars are. Have you ever thought about how far back in history you are looking when you look up at the sky? (I’m a history nerd so I have…) It takes millions of years for the light from the stars to reach earth…so you could be looking at stars that may have become black holes. I mean God is a REALLY big God! And it’s the coolest thing. And guess what….God was there placing the stars in the sky! And he knew about you THEN! He already loved you. At that moment the greatness of His love hit me like a ton of bricks…and he captured my heart all over again. I pray that you let him capture your heart, because He is your true love…don’t waste your time trying to find the perfect guy, when you have a perfect God who already loves you. His timing is perfect, and His understanding is unfathomable. I have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. And my prayer for you is that you will do the same. There is nothing sweeter than the feeling of the Lord wrapping his arms around you.
