❤ LOVE ❤
i have fallen into the rut of just reading my bible and doing what i know i should and forgetting to love Jesus... forgetting to just respond to his love. this weekend i really saw how much i had traded doing all the right things for my relationship with Jesus. i miss Him. i miss just resting in his love.
this is the picture that God gave me last night of his love. he is a daddy just kneeling there with his arms wide open... and im the little girl just running to him. his face is one of pure love and longing, not wanting me to do the right things to act like i love him, but just resting in his love. He loves me.
I wrote my med com last night on love... and God gave me a "wow!" insight. heres an excerpt:
1 Peter 1: 18 says, “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed…but with the precious blood of Christ.” If you were to purchase a cookie for a dollar, that cookie would be worth a dollar to you. If you were to purchase a car for $6,500, that car would be worth $6,500 to you. If God paid Jesus for you, you are worth Jesus to God. Wow. That is love.
this is love beyond anything we could ever comprehend. God pursues me and hunts me down to love on me because he paid Jesus for me.
i sorta have a fear of storms. i really like thunder and lightening. but as soon as it gets real windy, my heart starts racing. last night we had a storm come through and i didnt even hear the thunder and all, but i heard the wind. it woke me up. and my heart started racing and immediately jesus gave me the picture of the disciples in the boat with him during the storm. and he spoke to me and said, "even though the storm is all around you, im right here with you."
it is beyond me how jesus even cares about my silly fear of storms and right there in the moment he holds my hand and puts peace in my heart.
he loves me. :)
last night suzanne and i saw the most amazing shooting star. i know i already told you about it, but wow. it was amazing!!!! and it was really a beautiful demonstration of God's love... and just how awesome and powerful he is, but how he is so personally interested in each one of us.
please dont just read your bible... please dont just do all the right things. you miss sooooo much when you skip spending the time with Jesus. he LOVES you.
i love this. thanks nina :)
