I am simply in awe of the way God chooses to glorify Himself. For some reason He has chosen to glorify Himself by loving me in sheer abundance from the day I took my first breath on this earth. Joy overwhelms my heart to reflect on the incredibly power of His love. There is nothing that compares with it. His love makes all things work together for my good. When He loves me I experience the deepest parts of my heart being satisfied. And somehow I know that He delights greatly in the moments when I fully let Him come in and love me. When I let Him come in and satisfy the deepest longings of my heart, He rejoices. In the moments of hard painful surrender, He is calling me deeper into His heart. He knows what comes after the pain. He knows I will know Him better. He knows I will know more of His heart.
He is calling me deeper into His heart. And as I adventure deeper, I am transformed and He receives glory. The words of my mouth are different, my actions are not the same, the desires of my heart are different. I am not the same. I desire to do His will and not my own. I am willing to walk into the pain and darkness because I just want others to know the love that burns in my heart. I am willing to do what others would call crazy because I want to see His face. I have learned that in the hardest moments, that is when He is most visible.
How could I not be head over heels in love with a God who chooses to glorify Himself in loving me, in satisfying the deepest longings of my heart? It's not a choice, it's just a response to experiencing a love that nothing else can even compete with.
He is love and He is mine.
