You know when you walk through the dollar tree? Ever notice the neon signs they have that say "Wow Factor"? Of course, It's pretty silly, but it does attract your eye, doesn't it?
As Christian girls, we sometimes lose the "wow factor" when it comes to the things of God. We gawk in awe when we read about the Shunnamite woman in 2 Kings 4 and 8, or when we hear about a lady who was saved miraculously from her cancer, but does it seem that "awe"-some when the new girl prayed and received the blessing of a membership at the nearby "good-will"? Or is it so amazing when the preacher shares a verse that helped him in his walk with God?
Imagine with me for a moment. You are on your way to see the famous Grand Canyon of Arizona. You love taking pictures, because you love to keep the memories of the beauty of the world God has given us. As you approach, you forget about the camera. THIS is BEAUTIFUL. But as you walk further, it only gets better. Finally, your eyes reach over the edge and...
*your breath is drifts away...
This is so beautiful, so unique, so... what's the word?
Now, compare that with your daily reaction to God's love letter to you. Think about it for a second. The all-mighty, all-knowing, all-powerful Creator of the billions upon billions of stars and galaxies has reached down to YOU; He wants to YOU to have a personal relationship with HIM...
*your breath drifts away...
This is so beautiful, so unique, so... what's the word?
