Delight yourself in the Lord...

One in a billion, YOU

According to the International Programs Center, the total population of the World is:

6,801,545,151

That’s A LOT of people. that’s crazy.

I find it more crazy though, that each ONE (including me and YOU) is deeply and unconditionally LOVED by their Creator, God. each ONE, created with a purpose and a destiny (Jeremiah 29:11) each ONE, known by name (Isaiah 43:1), each ONE, fearfully and wonderfully made in His image (Psalm 139:14)

Now THAT’S crazy. Oh, how He loves US!

YOU are ONE.

therefore, YOU matter.

Live For Him <3

Fallin' in LOVE

There comes a point in your life where you know confidently in your heart that you are falling in love.

Yes. I said it. Falling madly, deeply, utterly, outrageously in love.

You know what I’m talking about right? You find yourself at a loss for words when it comes to describing how amazing He is yet at the same exact time, you just cannot stop talking about Him. You are left undone, overwhelmed, yet delighted in thoughts of Him alone. Euphoric, is an understatement when it comes to describing how you feel when you’re with Him. He is the one that makes you laugh. He is the reason you smile.

And so, yes. I’ll say it. I am indeed, falling madly, deeply, utterly, outrageously in love…with Jesus, every single day.

I can never ever get enough of Him. I never will.

The best is yet to come...if only you let go.

What is the best thing about letting love go?

You grab onto God.

In fact, it’s THE best thing you could ever do for yourself.

Believe me when I say this: There is no greater, more intimate relationship you will have on earth than the relationship you have with God. In fact, it’s the perfect romance.

In Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life, he states that “You were made by God and for God, but until you understand that life will never make sense.” Therefore, living life without God and not for His will just doesn’t make sense. (Psalm 16:2 The Msg)

This means that our relationship with God must always come first; His wants, His desires for our lives come before our own. However, I do believe most of us have a difficult time letting go of our own wants and desires in life, specifically in relationships, because we have a difficult time trusting God. Some of us question,

“Is everything really going to be okay?”

“Does He really know what He’s doing?”

“Does He really have the best for me?”

His answer: Yes. Yes. Yes.

God loves you so much that He does indeed have the absolute best for you. In fact, far more than you could ever possibly imagine. “God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” Ephesians 3:20 (The Msg)

All that’s required of you is that you love Him with all of your heart and trust in Him completely. Just be patient and make the choice to fully let go of what you want out of life and grab onto God and the purposes He has for your life.

“God, the one and only – I’ll wait as long as He says. Everything I need comes from Him, so why not?…trust in Him absolutely people; lay your lives on the line for Him. God is a safe place to be.” Psalm 62:1,8 (The Msg)

So yes, the best is yet to come my friend. Just let go, grab onto God, and you’ll see.

“No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, never so much as imagined anything quite like it— what God has arranged for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (The Msg)
