He wants all of my heart
Everything about me He wants
and it's crazy to think about that
Recently during life group the question came up
"When is it hard to believe that God will be there for you?"
or something like that lol
but I had to think about it for a little bit
and my answer was really simple
When I want nothing to do with me.....
there are those days
when I'm so disappointed in myself
days when I put myself into bad positions
there are days when if I was anybody else and saw what I was dealing with
I'd be very reluctant to jump into the fire with me
There are days when I feel so in over my head
simply because life has thrown something my way
and it's crazy
it's crazy to think that anyone would want to go through stuff with me
it's crazy to think that His love is just that strong!
BUT THE REALITY IS THAT HIS LOVE IS THAT STRONG
So strong in fact that
He jumps into the dirtiness of life with us
whether we put ourselves in the mud
or the mud was thrown at us by this world
HAHA
OFTEN TIMES HE EVEN SEES THE MUD PUDDLES AND SAYS
HEY LETS GO THAT WAY!!!!
if you're reading this
and you are going through a rough time
be encouraged
know that God wants your whole heart
all of the time
He wants everything about you
all of the time
not only is He the desire of our hearts,
but He desires to fulfill our hearts!
ALL OF THE TIME
there's no place that we can put ourselves
no valley or mountain
no sin or shame
that we can be found in
that He isn't willing to jump down into the dirtiness with us
and love on us
He is not a God of Chaos, but a God of peace
yet He is willing to jump into the chaos with us
so that we can know His peace in the midst of it all
because He loves us
even when we feel like we can't love ourselves
He loves us
when we don't want anything to do with us
He wants EVERYTHING to do with us
God is Love
Romans 5:8
But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
so that whosever believes in Him would not perish
but have eternal life
John 17:3
This is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and the One You have sent —Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21
He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
In fact He loves us so much
and dives so far into the Chaos to show it
that He dove even as deep as the grave
to bring us out of sin, death, and shame
into abundant life
true abundant and eternal life
:)
my prayer is that God would continue to remind me of this love
and teach me this love as I strive to be like Him
to dive into the chaos with people who want to know peace
to dive into the chaos with people who want to know freedom
and shine light into their lives
as He has put people in my lives that dive into the chaos with me
Remind me Lord of what it means to really love
everyday
and guard my heart and my mind against those who don't really want peace or freedom
but instead just want to drag me into chaos with them for the sake of
making someone else's life chaotic
Help me be discerning there Lord
