\nPraise the Lord! <\/span>
\nGive thanks to the Lord, for He is good! <\/span>
\nHis faithful love endures forever. <\/span>
\nWho can list the glorious miracles of the Lord? <\/span>
\nWho can ever praise him enough? <\/span>
\nPsalms 106:1-2<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho can ever praise Him enough?\u201d \u00a0That’s an interesting question! \u00a0Did David with his contributions to the Book of Psalms praise the Lord enough? \u00a0And what exactly does enough praise<\/strong> <\/em>look like to Someone whose love endures forever? \u00a0Has God ever said to anyone, “Stop! You have praised Me enough.”<\/p>\n

I can’t list every glorious miracle of the Lord and I can’t reach the point of “enough praise<\/em>,” but I can give thanks to the Lord for His love that surely does endure forever<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I was raised in a home where I knew of God. \u00a0I have a few memories of going to church. I can remember being baptized more than a handful of times as a child. \u00a0I also remember in my teen years, when I was struggling with my mental health, hating a God I neither knew or understood. \u00a0I was aware there was<\/em> a God, but I did not understand His role and if He was such a good God why was my life the way it was. I can remember announcing that if there was a God He didn’t want anything to do with me and I didn’t want anything to do with Him. \u00a0He was the Creator of this game we call life<\/strong> and I didn’t want to play anymore. \u00a0I even began to believe the lie that I was a mistake and it wasn’t fair for Him to put me here and then leave me to fend for myself.<\/p>\n

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
\nand knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb.
\nThank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
\nYour workmanship is marvelous\u2014how well I know it.
\nPsalms 139:13-14<\/p>\n

This was one of the truths of God’s Word that took me a long time to believe. I am not a mistake and God’s Word says that He took the time to put me together. \u00a0God took His time making all His creations, nobody was an accident. \u00a0His Word says that He knows the very number of hairs on my head. \u00a0God did not stick me on Earth and leave me to figure it out. \u00a0Quite the opposite- God put me here and was simply waiting for me to stop and listen to Him.
\nI may not be able to list all of the Lord’s glorious miracles, but I know enough of them personally and have experienced plenty of His grace to know that my God is good and His love does endures forever. For His graciousness I am forever thankful.<\/p>\n

\nThank You, Lord, for loving relentlessly and patiently. I pray that I may love the same way You do. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
