| It's true. No
one ever gets through life without facing huge risks, without failing
at times, without getting hurt. But even so, I want to follow a path
filled with adventure, uncertainty, and unlimited possibilities - the
only path that can fulfill the deepest longings and desires of my
heart. I want to give my heart away to the only One who can make me
fully alive. To be consumed by the presence of a passionate and
compassionate God. To go where He sends me, no matter what the cost.
Sure, it's a big road ahead..
But we have a big God.

I am (by my own admission) a
hopeless romantic. If there is such thing, I am in love with
being in love. There's nothing else quite like it, and if you've
experienced it, you know what I mean 
I'm not talking about the warm, fuzzy side of love but it's the kind of love that is beyond "human knowledge" - God's love.
One of the biggest challenges
in life, of the mind and soul, is to simply accept God's love for us as
a gift. Many people try to earn love. They try to earn the
love of God by working for Him. And often times they find it hard
to worship Him because they know they don't deserve His
attention. They eventually beat themselves up trying to
subconsciously please Him and earn His grace and favor, without every
truly knowing Him.
But nothing you do could make Him love you more.
And if you want to know what true love is, you only need to study God's behavior toward you. God is generous, forbearing, kind, faithful, supportive, nurturing, forgiving, and just. He is everything you want and need.
You exist in God and know God through your own acts of love in the
world. He is in the face of everyone you reach out to. His
love is in your gentle word to a friend in pain, and in the kindness
you show to a stranger. And when you learn to live in love, you
become more and more like God.
You'll never know what LOVE is until you know GOD...
for GOD is LOVE.
