The Love of God

I have recently been blown away with the love that Jesus has been manifesting to my heart. It seems that everywhere I turn He appears and I LOVE it.

 I love how he steals me away when I'm attempting to do homework.

 I love when he sneaks up behind me in class and kinda freaks me out.

 I love how He surprises me and makes me start laughing.

 I love His voice. 

I love it when He laughs. 

I love it when he holds my hand. 

I love how incredible of a writer He is.

 I love how generous He is. 

I love dancing with Him 

I love what He creates

I love His back massages (Yes He does give them. He is real and practical after all)

I love His patience

I love His power.

I love that He listens

I love going out for coffee with Him

I love watching him play football. 

I love that He risked everything for a chance at my heart

I simply love HIM

and the best part of all this is He offers this kind of relationship to ALL of us, not because of what we do but because of what HE did. He is truly amazing. For so many years I tried to figure out how to get this love. For so many years I felt like it had to be earned. Then one day He freed my heart and love gushed in. It was something that He did. I'm not totally even sure how exactly it happened. It was kinda like God saying, "You don't have to really DO a bunch of stuff to fix the problem of receiving love by DOING." That doesn't even make sense. haha Fail Christy.  It was simply something He did because it was something I could never do on my own. Receiving is often harder than giving. But if we never receive His love, than we can never receive what we were created for-a real living relationship with Him.  It doesn't matter what you've done or haven't done. God wants to love on you. He longs to romance your heart. Receive His love. It's for you and He wants to give it to you on greater levels than you can imagine.
