God Is Bigger... 


This Sunday a poem was shared at our 'Stay A While', Sunday Gathering which I am aware many people found very helpful. We have managed to track it down and post it up here Revs site. Please have a read and create some space to allow God to speak to you through this.

God is bigger than sin
God is bigger than suffering
God is bigger than the biggest of mistakes
God is bigger than your sadness
God is bigger than your job where you just don't know if you can go another day
God is bigger than the pain that comes from seeing everyone else having children when you are not able to
God is bigger than your dreams that you realize just wont happen
God is bigger than the plans that fall through at the last minute
God is bigger than the sickness that will ultimately take your life
God is bigger than the loneliness you feel day after day after day
God is bigger than the anger you feel from being sinned against years ago
God is bigger than the hate the builds up at the thought of those that lied and attacked you
God is bigger than the time you poured at your heart to someone with no response
God is bigger than broken ministries
God is bigger than guilt you feel for all the stupid, hurtful and sinful things you did growing up that you think about and regret every day of your life
God is bigger than the shame you feel for doing the thing that only you know about
God is bigger than the insecurity you feel when being around others that you think are better, secure and more qualified than you
God is bigger than the fallout you had with that person
God is bigger than your regret for not telling that person how much you loved them before they died
God is bigger than the thoughts that you just cant seem to shake
God is bigger than the life you left behind
God is bigger than the years you have spent walking away from Him
God is bigger than the nights you've spent crying yourself to sleep
God is bigger than the mornings where you just can't face the world
God is bigger than your mixed up childhood experiences
God is bigger than preachers who don't speak the truth or who add to God's law
God is bigger than the Love you lost for His people
God is bigger than the many times you have fallen flat on your face
God is bigger than the times you've questioned everything about Him
God is bigger than the weight you cant seem to lose
God is bigger than loneliness you feel because no one seems to get you
God is bigger than the scars you hide
God is bigger than the days you feel so alone
God is bigger than your feeling of worthlessness
God is bigger than your debts
God is bigger than every internet site you looked at but knew you shouldn't have
God is bigger than the feeling you get when leaving church because you just weren't being you
God is bigger than the night you almost ended it all
God is bigger than the friends who never come through for you
God is bigger than your jealousy for those who have the life you want
God is bigger than the thoughts in the back of your mind that you would be burned at the stake for if anyone ever knew
God is bigger than the sickness you feel when thinking of those needlessly dying all over the world
God is bigger than the churches that are only concerned with building walls
God is bigger than a Baptist church in Missouri that has everything backwards and is dragging us down with them
God is bigger than the time you didn't just walk away
God is bigger than the years you've wasted
God is bigger
GOD IS!

I wont bore you with the reasons dog ramps were introduced (there is a a dog psychology one) but you are so right that the world has gone wrong with labour saving uselessnes in the endless pursuit of comfort.

Microwaveable slippers always get me scratching my head in disbelief. Surely there is a verse in Leviticus that warns against such wrongs.

Anyway, good article capt,
