There's a little red book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan that I am preaching about this weekend and highly recommend to folks to read. Chan and I may not agree on every theological issue, but this book has an amazing ability to capture the depth of love that our God has for us and helps to measure the "lukewarmness" of our response to that amazing love!
It is so interesting when I consider how often I think I am big enough, smart enough and brave enough to go it alone. Keeping God back there behind door number one so I can call him out like my obedient little pet when I need Him.
A few months ago my son called me about this little leak he had with his dishwasher. Not a big deal for him, just looking for advice from his Dad on how to go about handling this minor distraction in his life. I remember how good it felt to know he wanted my input, trusted me enough to ask. It was good to be a Dad who loves his son.
How then must our Father in heaven love it when we bring the "dishwasher issues" of our lives to Him? It just a simple way we can bask in His "Crazy Love".....
