There are a couple things God has really been pressin in on me since our BSM leadership retreat this past weekend.
ever since this whole concept of love is something i just can't get a hold of.
the love God has for me.
impossible to escape.
covers me completely.
it overcame the grave.
it redeems
justifies
saves.
...the greatest of these is love
love covers a multitude of sins
out of love the Son of Man died
while i was still but a sinner
this is how we know what love is....
kind
patient
not rude, self-centered or boasting.
it does not envy, it keeps no record of wrongs.
it rejoices with truth.
protects, trust, hopes and perseveres.
This love that God so often spoke of and vehemently desired for us
never fails....
i'm reading a book called redeeming love right now and this one part is really stuck in my mind
"The morning sunlight was so bright it hurt her eyes. blinding her more than the darkness ever had..."that's what I’m offering you"...his breath was warm against her skin. "i want to fill it with light" he put his arms around her and held her back against him.. "give me a chance..."
That what God wants, a life filled with the love only he has to offer us.
and as our life’s are filled so fully to the point that we would come overflowing to the life’s of others.
Turn our hearts to you O God...teach me what is means to love you...loving others as you lead me to, out of the love i devote myself to in you.
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised"
~Proverbs 31:30
