God's very own pizzeria..

This is such a beautiful scripture, on so many different levels. Me, as a huge nature and animal lover, love the fact that God doesn't forget a single sparrow. That little, almost insignificant songbird. It's not overlooked.

Every hair on your head is numbered. Every single hair..For some men with receding hairlines, that may mean less with each passing year, but still, it's pretty awesome!

I find it hard to write about God's love for us. I mean, some things have to be experienced first hand.

I remember early on in my conversion, I was having a nice heart to heart with Papa. And I told Him, Pap, if we're gonna do this, then I'm not just going to talk about You, about Your goodness. Too many people have already done that. Talk is cheap.

I wanna hand out pizza slices. I mean, tangible ways for people to experience Your love. Like the Psalm (34:8) says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good".

Let me hand out slices of Your love. I could talk about that pizza till I'm blue in the face, but one bite of that slice, will tell them more than I ever could.

Two years later Project of Love was born. Or better said: given to me. And I guess you could say it has become God's very own pizzeria ;)

You see, God is always looking for new ways to express His love for you.

Remember the little bird He loves? Well, you're more precious to Him than thousands of those little sparrows ❤️
