Had some sweet, sweet revelations today and to cap it off I got this amazing message of encouragement from an old friend. It has me a little stunned in the best way possible. Because it's God again, showing me His promise, showing His love and faithfulness in so many millions of ways. My heart is so tender tonight.
I don't know how or why God loves me this much. I don't even know what to say to her yet. I have to wrap my mind around the fact that I have been so selfish. I have even been selfish to delete my Facebook accounts and delete friends. I am a child of God. He is the reason why I am alive... not only by flesh and blood, with a heart beating in my chest, but also really alive, in Him. He is the reason I smell the flowers dancing in blades of grass, hear the songs sweetly sung in two ears previously half-listening as I went about 3 other to-do's at the same time. He is my reason. His love, meant to shine in the life of a believer. Not my life alone, but His.
I have been so greedy to hoard away all of this love. This vast, immeasurable love. It is so thick it comes in buckets, sheets. I write freely now. Unashamed. Aware that I possess it- THIS!-everything! It is loud and soft and tender and violently lovely. I can't escape the riches of His love.
I feel reckless and full of divine light and love.
Jesus.
Uncover me. Let me stand with a pure heart before you.
