Life is better when you love Jesus.
In the past month I've been completely swept off my feet by the love of Christ.
It's dumbfounding. It's awe inspiring. It takes my breath away.
Every morning is brighter.
Every smile is bigger.
Every moment is more exciting.
Every conversation has more meaning.
Every restful moment is spent talking to Him.
I can't breathe. I can't think. I can't sleep.
I need Jesus. Daily. Moment by moment.
I look back on the the past 19 years and wonder how I missed this.
How, when it was so close, I missed the most important piece of the gospel. Jesus.
Either way, I learned a lot of lessons and probably understand it on a deeper level after going through the fire.
Gratitude.
I'm humbled by the opportunity to wake up each morning and be loved by Christ.
To fall asleep in His arms.
To spend the day talking to Him.
To know that He cares.
That everything my little girl heart desired and longed for I have in Christ.
With Valentines day coming around,
I'm reminded of the deep love and affection I have in Christ.
I'm more content than I've ever been.
I have the peace of the world.
I have love that can move mountains.
I know Love Himself.
I am deeply cherished and adored by the Creator of the Universe - the One who made whales and crickets. Stars and blades of grass. Warm summer nights and chocolate chip cookies.
I'm freed by His love.
Free to be weak.
Free to be vulnerable.
Free to giggle.
Free to cry.
Free to be a gentle and soft.
Free to be the woman God created me to be.
Tonight, I talked to God about my failures, my shortcomings, and my weaknesses - and instead of hearing the legalistic condemnation I've heard from myself for my entire life, I heard the deep calm voice of God telling me that "It is finished" - the victory has been won. Jesus was strong for me.
God's love is unconditional. Nothing I do, no matter how much I mess up, will make Him love me any less. Instead of the panicked works-based lifestyle I've lived up until now, I'm finding the peace and rest that comes from knowing that God is in control. That I can trust Him wholeheartedly. He will never leave me - He is faithful.
Lord, make my heart like Yours.
