Author of life

Sitting at my desk reading, singing and crying.  There are so many things to be grateful for, yet we focus on all of the things that we have to give up, things that annoy us, things that have left us broken, and people left behind. We have been given the gift of choice with the hope that we would choose God.  Yet we dwell on things we can’t change, things that feel good for that moment, things that are not of Him.  WHY?  Today, I read day one of a new advent book that I purchased. Day one is about The Author and in this chapter I was reminded that God IS THE Author of ALL things.   Three words are described, one being time. Time did not exist until God chose to create it.  The second word is Adam as He creates Adam He sees all of us. He knows all of who He will be creating over thousands of eras. WOW!! He didn’t just think about Adam, He thought about me, you, our families, our friends EVERYONE!  He promised at that moment to create us in His image, to laugh, to love, to write, to create, to share, to serve and so much more. HE WANTS US TO BE LIKE HIM!!!  In this, I am reminded that we have been given choices, choices to choose Him or to choose the world.  We must choose carefully. It is so very easy to slip, to fall, and loose sight of Him and all that He has for us.  Then He lovingly gives us the word Immanuel.  “The greatest mind in the universe imagined time. The truest judge granted Adam a choice. But it was love that gave Immanuel, God with us.”  God The Author entered his own story and the word became flesh. He too became flesh, human.  He too cried tears.  Tears, The Author of the Universe Who created me cried tears!  Some days I can’t understand how easily I can disregard The One and Only so easily as if I am the only one in this world who has choices, tough choices to make.  He too had a choice to make! He chose love! He chose to love me so much that He came here in the flesh with the intent to die on the cross for me. He came to give up life itself for me. Why can’t I do that for Him?  Why when I’m in the midst of sin can’t I see that nails being driven into His hands and remember what pain He went through to save me?
