“Amazing Love…” lyrics by Chris Tomlin really moves me because I’m reminded of the awesome depth of God’s love for me. Wow! I never want to lose the extreme gratitude I feel for His grace.
I’m also deeply moved when I see how people give of themselves to impact other people’s lives for the good. When I see outreach extended through the lives of Central Assembly’s family, it is totally awesome! For instance, there's Wes, a member on the oil change team, who often works 3rd shift at Evangel University and then comes to change oil for single moms before going home to sleep. Why would he do that? It’s because he is using his mechanical gifts to help others and he has put his own interests below that of these disadvantaged single moms. Likewise, why would members of the oil change team often go out of their way to help a single mom beyond the oil change itself? I personally know there have been instances of oil change volunteers buying groceries for a single mom who came to the oil change, buying Christmas gifts for their children, purchasing gas vouchers when a single mom needed to make a trip, and buying tires for their vehicles. And they do all this with their own money, without the thought of recognition or public thanks.
How could you not be humbled by being around such genuine people like this? Amazing love…
