"I will exalt You, my God the King;  I will praise Your name for ever and ever.  Everyday I will praise You and extol Your name for ever and ever.  Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;  His greatness no one can fathom.  Ps 145:1-3

There are so many things to be thankful this Thanksgiving.  Even though things aren't like we may like them to be, God has blessed us with so many things throughout the past year.  One of those precious things is friends.  The following is a simple poem written by Margaret Slabach to express that thankfulness.

I was totally blessed by a you-tube video called "Inheritance" by Graham Cooke.  Please go check it out!  One phrase in the video really connected with my heart...and has been echoing in my mind ever since.

"Live as one who is outrageously loved!" 

What would our lives look like? Would they be different if we truly lived, worked, communicated and ministered to our families, work associates, clients, neighbors and friends from a place of KNOWING that we are OUTRAGEOUSLY LOVED? 

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have LIFE EVERLASTING!   John 3:16    Now that's some kind of outrageous love!

So I wonder...Am I living as one who is outrageously loved?  Are you?  Do you KNOW in the deepest recesses of your heart that you are outrageously loved by The Father or do you secretly wonder if He loves you as much as He loves others?  Do you strive to earn His love? Do you sometimes feel that you must be "good enough" "healed enough"  "spiritual enough" to receive His outrageous love? 

God is Love, He loves 100% and cannot love any other way...His love for you right now, right where you are is outrageous! So live today as one who is outrageously loved....because YOU ARE!
