My family is in the process of adopting from Africa (if you want more info visit www.beebebits.blogspot.com). I was thinking of all those little children over there that are so lowly and poor. An orphan in Africa is probably as low as you could get anywhere in the world.
I was also thinking about God. He is the highest ever. No one can be above him, or more powerful than him. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
So being on Earth we are already pretty low in God's eyes. We are all filthy sinners (before we have accepted Christ). Now those orphans, all though lowest in the world, are lifted high by God.Those orphans that are so low can KNOW GOD, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. That just hit me last night. Truly anyone can know and believe in Christ Jesus. I don't know how I had missed that.
What I am challenging you with today is to open your eyes to things like that. We so often get in our Christian bubble of Christian friends, Christian co-workers, etc. Get out of that bubble. It doesn't help the world if you stay in your bubble, and God has called us to make a change in the world.

Yes, it is amazing that anyone can know God. His love is greater than we can even fathom. However, I think we are not "low" in his eyes, I think we are beautiful in His eyes because we have been covered with the blood of Jesus. His perfection covers our imperfections. Praise be to God! Also, your music sounds great!
