Love The Lord

The Lord loves me. He really really loves me. His love isn't limited to just me, he loves all. If you love him back and pursue that relationship that he designed us to have with him-- we get that. We can have a great personal intimate relationship with him. One that is so strong that it trumps everything else going on in life. We can be at a place where we have nothing but him and feel complete. Satisfied. Fulfilled. 

I'm not at that place, and before this weekend I didn't think that was a realistic goal. I feel like I have to have all these other things. Great worship, epic heart of prayer, words, deep understanding and in doing this I would develop this deep love. That these things would make me kinda who i describe. That is all backwards. It starts with loving God and in this love you become close to God and in that relationship you become more like him and that is where all the things I have our pushing comes out of me. 

If you haven't noticed, The Lord has been teaching and shaping me a lot these past few days. And the things that he has been working are so simple, but have had this huge impact on my life. 

As I said. I'm not in this place yet. But I can get there. I need to open up my heart and allow The Lord to shape it to fit his and let my heart be full and satisfied in loving him
