How He Loves

More than anything else in my Christian life, I've always been boggled by God's unfailing love. How is it that a God so holy, so exalted would be concerned by me? How is it that He would have anything to do with me? His love is something that I wrestled with, ran from and denied -- all because of a great sense of unworthiness. Yes, I am unworthy of His love -- I will always be unworthy of His love. But that's what makes it all the more remarkable. His love for me is greater than any sin I could ever commit. It's stronger than any feelings of guilt I may have.  His love for me drove Him to give His life and His love is now what gives me life. Even though I learn more everyday about His great love, I still cannot completely wrap my mind around how awesome it is. But, I can say that now I've found that in His love I don't have the time or right to maintain my many regrets or disappointments. Why not? Because in His love I am redeemed and in He sees me as perfect. How sweet it is to be loved by God!

Lyrics to David Crowder Band - How He Loves

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves. 

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we?re all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don?t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way....

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.

Question for you?

Does God really love us unconditionally...or is that just something were taught to believe so that when we do sin we can just pray that he forgives us. Why are people so afraid to question God... "God why do I have to do all this that required of me. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why don’t people get what they deserve?”  

What’s the point on continuing to strive forward knowing you're going to screw up at some point anyway? Is it just for fun, do we strive to be better because it sounds good, because it looks good… because its what we're “supposed to do”? Do people even know why they do have stuff anymore or have we all become non living zombies going through the motions of a mundane and no substance life?

Know why you’re doing something.. anything. Or else why the heck would you do it. Who cares what other people think? Those who are there for you in the end are all that matter. There are gonna be times where you are going to lose people and its going to be hard, but know that one day youll be able to be ok with that because …In the end you have to. There is no other choice. Question things you don’t understand. Strive for things even though you’re gonna screw it up. Go after things you can't reach, and say things you want to keep inside. … but overall

Ask God why and pray for answers... I’m still waiting…..

Waiting...
To feel your love on my skin, completely awed with the ecstasy of your love making hands on my soul.
I miss the kiss of your Spirit on my forehead, captured in a moment in time but lasting for eternity.
The bliss of looking into your eyes and watching time escape us, propelling us into a place not defined with time only space for more opportunity for me to experience your love...
I seize each moment your eyes look into mine.  Each moment bringing me to tears from the simple thought of WHY ME?  What did I do to deserve a love so pure, a love that holds my heart with care leaving an imprint on my Soul.
My heart yearns for every second of my day to be filled with your passionate kisses, your fear destroying hugs, and your orgasmic touches that make me a victim to your love.  I am weak.  
I can't fight the everlasting feeling that you have cleansed my being with.  Fear no longer is my master.  No longer can I be afraid to wrap my arms around this love, to initiate the first kiss, to experience the bliss of freely falling in love with you.
Waiting...
Now I realize the love that I have been waiting for has been waiting for me all along...
I willingly give you my all...
I love you God.
