simple?

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

one of the "simplest" verses in the Bible- or is it?

can YOU create the heavens and the earth? I certainly cannot. i don't know about y'all, but i am majorly guilty of taking everything for granted.

another example is John 3:16 "For God SO loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Probably the most stated and memorized verse of the Bible, but do we REALLY think about what it means? GOD LOVES YOU! again, those seem like such simple words, but they are the most amazing words i have ever heard in my 18 years of living. The same God that created the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1 loves YOU AND ME!!!! :) i don't even know what else to say. i just wish we could all stop and be in awe of our Creator and Lover. like i said, i am guilty of taking everything for granted and continuing life like my freedom in Christ is free when the truth is that is cost more than i can imagine.

If you don't remember anything else from this, remember that God loves YOU more than you can possibly know!
