Sometimes when too many things go terribly wrong we ask the question "Why me?" as in 'Why did God choose to pick on me?' 'Why can't things go my way?' 'What did I do to deserve this bad luck?' and we wonder why someone else didn't get our misfortune.
Well, today I was thinking about asking God "Why me?" but meaning it in a totally different way. I want to know why God picked me out of all those He's created to bless me with all the blessings I have. My life is wonderful, and it's all thanks to Him. I can't imagine it being possible to deserve all his love and giving. It isn't possible-I know that, but I can't even picture all one would have to achieve to earn all He gives to us.
As I was writing my Thank You cards to all the people who sent me a card or gift for graduation, it occurred to me that I CAN'T express how thankful I am to all the people in my life and to God for giving them to me. It actually made me extremely sad. I would really like to have a way to be able to show my gratitude. Maybe God meant for it to be this way. He wanted us to be unable to thank Him enough to once again demonstrate His power. Well, Lord, I get it. I see Your strength and I'm in awe.
What a God we have, you know it? And he loves me. Why me??
