His Love

I feel like I can’t talk about anything but His Love - it’s all I want to talk about. I keep finding satisfaction in it over and over as He gives my heart greater understanding of it, and honestly, it’s all that keeps me together. In fact I am constantly finding out more how dark my heart is. The truth is that I will never know the darkness of my heart as well as God knows it, which is actually good news. Sometimes I come up short and am disappointed in myself. I feel like I have to re-assure myself that God still loves me after whatever instance that I totally blew. Whether it’s falling in an area where i’m constantly fighting or me realizing a new palace where I have come up short of what God has for me, I know that God doesn’t have to renegotiate his grace with me, nor does he have to re-figure how much he loves me. God is driven to love you because that is simply who He is. He does not need you to motivate Him to love you, it’s simply who He is. He know’s exactly who we are, he isn’t surprised by us even though we might be. He knows the extent of our darkness yet we are still lovely to Him. (Song of Songs 1:5) His love is something you will never get over. In a billion years you will still be totally blown away by His love for you!

Here's how it's blowing me away right now:

- Did you know that Jesus loves you in the same way that the Father loves Jesus?

John 15:9 “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have loved you; abide in my love.” [NASB] As the Father loves Jesus, in the same way Jesus loves you! I can’t get over that! Jesus has the same measure of love and affection towards you that His Father has towards Him! AMAZING!

- John 17:22-23 “I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me.” This might be my favourite chunk of scripture! Many things baffle me about those two verses, for starters:

1) The glory which the Father has given to Jesus he has given to us?!?!?!

2) The Father is passionate about YOU like He is passionate about Jesus! God is loves you, as God is loves God!!!!

- Before you took a breath he knew you (Psalm 139)

Rest in his love! Dwell on His Love! Talk with Him, simply be in relationship with Him. Stress, loneliness, dullness of life, lack of hope all disappear, literally fade out as we dwell on His Love. Be confident that even though our love for Him might sometimes be weak, that doesn't make it insincere, it's just that, it's weak. An Immature Love is still sincere and to a sincere lover of Him he promises to be revealing himself to them(John 14:21)! Out of living in relationship and love with Him, everything else he has for you will come!
