“If you had any idea how much God desires you… your heart would explode. You can’t possibly imagine how vast God’s love is, or how relentless it is. Nothing can alter it. Nothing can stand against it. God’s love for you is simply beyond your imagination. Your sins cannot even touch it. He has prepared a place for you in His house, and He calls you by name. He aches for you, and desires to abide with you, beyond all longing you have ever felt, or will ever feel.”

so i got picked up and got into the middle seat in the back row of a friends van. and that seat was the money seat, the seat with the straight path to the windshield. and for some reason i didnt want to put on my seatbelt. as we were going i thought “what if we crash and i fly out through the windshield and die” and it made me wish i wasnt sitting in that seat. but i looked around and i realized i was the only one who was ready to sit in that seat. all my friends werent ready to die, maybe except 1 or 2 MAYBE. they all (except 1 or 2) dont know the saving grace of Jesus and dont have salvation. im pretty sure i was the only one in the car that had faith in God’s salvation. and it was quite a depressing realization. but God still has plans for us because were not dead yet. gotta have faith in His perfect plan and work for His glory. gotta shine His light.
“If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”

“But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”
—Romans 9:20 (via godcolorsintheworld)
ifonlyitwerethatsimple
i want to love without expecting to be loved back
i want to love so others can see the love ive been given by Him
i want to love to share the love i have
i want to love because i have love
i want to love like He loves
but im selfish.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”

What makes your face light up with joy? Does your heart race at the sight of a beloved person or at that first glimpse of a newborn baby? Do you come alive with pleasure when you see beautiful art or taste a gourmet meal? Just try to imagine what on earth could…
How can You look at me that way when I have failed so many times? Showing me love You tell the world, "This child is mine."
