I'm figuring out what love truly means. I've always struggled with and wondered why God would love me... why He would give me a second chance, offering me eternal life. I'm not worthy of mercy. I'm worthy of death, yet God invests His life into me and decides to bestow mercy upon me, teaching me what True Life really is. God created us to be in perfect harmony with Him. Yes - He knew that sin would enter the world, and the perfect world He created would be a sinful place. But that's why He sent Jesus. He sent His only son - the one whom He loved, and He sacrificed Himself on our behalf... on my behalf. He loved me so much, that He wanted to win me back. He wanted me to choose Him once again, through the turmoil and through the sin. I am saved by Grace and Mercy and the more I walk in His truth, the more freedom I experience. The more that I walk in Him, the more love I experience... the kind of Love that was meant to be in the first place.
When I think I'm going under
part the waters Lord
When I feel the waves around me
calm the sea
When I cry for help
oh hear me Lord and hold out Your hand
Touch my life
Still the raging storm in me
I know that through the struggle, and through the storms, You are always going to be there. There's nothing that could ever tear me apart from You. There's nothing that could ever possibly cause me to fall back into the pit. Things are hard. Things are disappointing. But these "things" are those of this earth. What truly matters is Your love, which is greater than any earthly thing. Everlasting Love is enough to get me through. It is sufficient. It is patient. It is kind. Love always protects. It always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. I know that You are always going to love me, and I know that you're always going to be hanging on to me... loving me, just like You always have, and just like You always will.
Love never fails
...1 Corinthians 13:8
