I'm not a great writer, so, bear with me. I've been reading this book called crazy love, and I'm about eh almost half way through it. If you know me at all, you know that I don't read. It's like pulling teeth to get me to read. But anyhoooo, I've learned so much about love in just 59 pages than I have my entire life. I think a lot of it has to do with the situations that I'm in right now, but that is another story for another time:). The most precious and greatest love that we can ever receive is the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is the best gift that we could ever receive, if we choose to receive it. God's love is so abundant for us that we don't even realize it. We are so caught up in who "likes" who, who's dating who, who lovessss who...blah blah blah that it consumes our lives. If you think about it, what earthly love that you have ever received has ever fulfilled you? Sure, it may fulfill you for a second, but then it's gone. The only love that is everlasting and true is the love of our God, the creator of the universe. I still struggle with the fact that God wants me even though I sin time and time again. But at the end of the day, I know that God loves me. He's pursuing me in a very real way. He's pursuing ALL OF US. I don't think I will ever grasp how much He truly loves me, and wants a relationship with me.
The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing that God treasures us.
OH HOW HE LOVES US!!!!!!!!!
We are doing a bible study with Jan Cook and some other girls on Monday nights, based on Crazy Love...such a good book!
