The Majesty, Power, and Vastness of the Great I AM

Jesus Calling by Sarah Young May 28, page 155
"This is a form of worship:  sensing your smallness in comparison to My Greatness. 
Man tends to make himself the measure of all things. But man's measure is too tiny to comprehend My majestic vastness."

After reading that, I decided to ride to the beach because that is where I can get a sense of God's majesty, power, vastness. 
On the way there, I listened to "Before the Throne of God" by Selah, and I heard something I've never noticed before. 
" A great High Priest, whose name is Love, 
Who ever lives and pleads for me."

Have I ever thought of God that way before? Of Jesus? Who ever lived for me? He LIVES for ME? Everything I know about God is what He has done for us, for me. Everything. Like His whole reason for existence is us. I can get a very limited sense of this when I think about my sons and grandsons. Even as a child, I made decisions and choices for my future children. I chose my husband based on those decisions. (Besides the fact that I just plain fell in love with him, but I thank God that I fell in love with the one who fit my choices.) 
I can't honestly claim that I live for my children, but I have a sense of that kind of love. My life would not be the same without them. They are our greatest accomplishment. They fill our lives with purpose and joy. We cry for them when they hurt. We rejoice for them when they succeed and when they are happy. I would like to think that I would give my life for them if they were in danger.
If I can feel that limited depth of love, why is it hard to believe that God feels that for His children?
The Great High Priest Whose Name is LOVE.

And then this verse pretty much sums it up:
"Because the sinless Savior died, 
My sinful soul is counted free; 
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me"

He did this for ME. The Great and Just I AM is satisfied to look at his Sacrificial Lamb, His only Son, on the Cross and accept His sacrifice and pardon me. And Pardon ME. He looks at Jesus' sacrifice instead of my sinful, unworthy self. He's satisfied with that. Because He created it - this plan for my salvation, and it was GOOD.

Lyrics:

BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD
Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea: A great High Priest, whose name is Love, 
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands,  My name is written on His heart;  I know that while in heaven He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,  And tells me of the guilt within,  Upward I look, and see Him there Who made an end to all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died,  My sinful soul is counted free;  For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me To look on Him and pardon me

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the One,  Risen Son of God! 

Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb My perfect, spotless righteousness,  The great unchangeable I am,  The King of glory and of grace! 

One with Himself I cannot die

My soul is purchased by His blood My life is hid with Christ on high,  With Christ, my Savior and my God With Christ, my Savior and my God
