I'm in Love

I really wish I could explain to everyone how I feel right now.

Like, I wish I could just transfer all of my emotions into your very heart, put the spirit within me into your very bones.

There comes a point in life where you just can't go on with life without making a decision. For me, this point in my life has been the past few months.

It started with a broken heart and anger. God continually called me out, and over the past few months I have seen two paths emerge before me. Well. I've seen hundreds of paths come before me. With only one leading to the source of life.

Oh, if only I could explain how DEEP and FILLING and SATISFYING the Spirit of God is. I'm melting continuously in His embrace. I've known God since I was a child, but this is the first time in my life that I have DESIRED Him.

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

This was my heart's cry for so long, with impure intentions. But somehow God turns impurity into beauty...he takes our filthy rags and turns them into crowns of gold. He makes beautiful things out of us.

Man...you know, for SO LONG I just ran in complete opposition to God. It's like the lyric "I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want than accept what you give that I need."

That was totally my life for the past 18 years. But God is so undeniably and unbelievably faithful. His love astounds, astonishes, and blows me away. Every day. His gospel is fresh and his mercies are new every morning.

So I just had to gush about that for a bit. I so desire for everyone to partake of the glory of the gospel, because it is so infinitely sweet! On and on and on it goes! Yes, it overwhelms and satisfies my soul!

As C.S. Lewis said...

"I am in love, and out of it I will not go!"

And oh, how He loves!
