"I own the skies, the ocean, and all the stars and I STILL desire your heart, Taylor!"
Tears are welling up in my eyes just writing this. This is so beautiful, God is SO beautiful. Those few words have really been working on me. At first I tried to fight God. I said, "Woah, but God I think bad thoughts sometimes or curse under my breath when I get really frustrated. You can't want me ALL the time." But still those words He spoke to me rang in my ears louder than all the arguments I came up with.
I have definitely felt God's love everyday since He saved me, but now it seems like I have a little bit of a deeper understanding of just how great His love for me is. It blows my mind! God has this PERFECT love, and even though I am so imperfect (I'm actually pretty messy!) He still loves me so very much!
"The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love."
Psalm 145:8 (NLT)
"But God showed His GREAT love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
Romans 5:8 (NLT)
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. THEN you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."
Romans 8:18-19 (NLT)
All throughout the scriptures it speaks of God's love. He showed His love in the greatest way possible when He sent His son, Jesus Christ. He lived a totally sinless life, touching lives and teaching others along the way. Then He died, HE DIED. He didn't go to sleep for three days, Jesus died the most painful death. It should have been me that was beaten and ridiculed and hung on that cross, but my Jesus loved me so much He took my place. He died the death I deserve. But then He got up out of the grave and defeated Hell! All for us!
Think about this; Your Heavenly Father sees your sin more clearly than anyone else, yet HE LOVES US MORE THAN ANYONE!!! This makes me want to jump around and shout! Jesus is just so rich in love!
I could go on forever about Christ's love, but I will not. Just know if you don't have anything else in this life, you have a Heavenly Father who desires your heart and loves you more than anyone else ever could. I have prayed over this blog and the readers and I pray that if you have never felt God's love that you might. But brace yourself, you wont be the same, you can't be the same after knowing God's love!
