Before I knew God, things were a lot different.
Life was a lot more sparkly and appealing than anything related to Jesus Christ...
Religion was a nice little box I had been conveniently placed in. I couldn't escape the high walls of the church and God was no more than a big statue at the front of the church.
Unhappy, bored, and indifferent...
And then Jesus stepped in to my heart.
The camera snapped into focus and snatched away the spotlight from this mess of a girl over to the One who truly deserved the praise.
Jesus stole my heart away from the paralyzing fear this world had planted in me and swept me up into His beautiful embrace. I have discovered a calling to lead this life in a very different way than how I would have pictured it a few years ago.
To live in His Love.
To live for grace.
To live for Christ.
"You call me to walk on the edge of this world, spreading my dreams and fly..."
Jesus calls us to live in His infinite love, away from darkness that taints our spirit.
He calls us to be "unpolluted by the world" -James 1:27
This world feeds lies into our weary hearts which don't possess enough strength to fight it off. Walking on the edge with Christ is the only way to go
God is the ONLY solution to the darkness corroding our spirits. He is the healing Light which shines down on us every single day we breathe. His love shoves aside the painful lies, bathing our minds in a Truth that Never fails.
Jesus has gone before us, made a way for us to live a life as a beautiful offering to God.
To call on His name in our weakness, praise His name for the unending Love we have been given, and to love as He loved, so much that our hearts bend and break in their pain.
He awakens our spirits to open our squinted eyes to the brightest heavenly sunlight shining through our closed windows
So that we may live out the Love He has in store for His most beloved.
God created and fashioned the heart of every single person who lives. He is the Love that makes this heart, this life, our everything real.
Jesus has unlocked a door to the most beautiful and wonderful secret in this life.
He has shown us how to live a life that matters.
A life not lived selfishly, but in surrender to a Love so deep, so profound that it brings us to our knees.
God's love is Enough. His love is everything I need and everything I need to be chasing after with every last beat of this heart. God is Love and the Love that will touch this life, and by His grace, others in the process; making His beauty known to people who are searching for a Love that saves, heals, and transforms.
"I created your heart that makes you feel, I am the Love that makes it real...."
God, I pray you would use us to spread the Love you plant in us, to shine Your light into the darkness for those stumbling towards a life that will never fulfill their longing for You. You are the Love which gives us meaning, purpose and passion in this life. Help us to see You for who You are and live in such a beautiful way that Your love is woven through the stories of our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.
