I want to fall in love! I feel like I might explode with it! and no this is no petty, earthly love. This is a deep rooted, thriving, pursuing, gentle, encompassing love. I want to fall in love with my Saviour. I hunger for more and more intimacy. I do not want stagnancy nor stability, I do not want something predictable and easy. I want Gods thriving, unexpected, earth shaking, stomach quivering love. Something that is uncontainable, and perhaps something that even scares me. This love I yearn for is pulsing with forgiveness, and grace and trust. Total trust. I want to move to the heart beat of my Lord. I hunger for more and more and I dont want this desire to ever go away. I couldnt handle all that God would be able to pour out for me yet I want to move more and more into his will and align what I want more and more with what He says I have been created for. So "I want to fall in love with you!" (Jars of Clay) so much that it would be undeniable in the way that I act and the words that I say.
"Lord I want more of you, living water rain down on me. Lord I need more of you, living breath of life come fill me up. We are hungry, we are hungry, we are hungry for more of you, we are thirsty oh Jesus, we are thirsty for more of you" (Jesus Culture)
This has been a theme song for me this summer - a cry from my inner most being. I dont always meet my standard, in fact, I fail at more than I succeed. I thirst and hunger for more of Christ yet I deny him in the things I say or do. I strive to mould my life after my Creators yet I fall short time and time again but isnt it beautiful how God renews our passion and covers all with his grace!? " I will not be silent, I will not be quiet any more!" (Jesus Culture) Its like I cant contain what God is stirring up in my soul. I want the whole world to know that Jesus restores and saves and rejuvenates! I challenge you, whoever you might be, to proclaim Gods love. Make your hearts desire to follow in Jesus's will in you life. Loosen your death grip on what you should have given to our gentle Father long ago. Let our faithful Lord take what you know the Spirit has convicted you to give up for Him. What areas of your life are you letting be ruled by the world, search your hearts and pour out to the Father! You will be blown away and blessed and overwhelmed by what God will give you! He promises infinitely more than we can ask or imagine!! guys whatever we might think would be amazing, or whatever dreams we may have... His are INFINITELY MORE than that!! can you even grasp that?!? I cant, but just trying too excites me and brings me to my knees in worship to this God that I want to fall more and more in love with!! I dont know who even reads this but whoever you are I hope that you read this and are instilled with a new passion and a deep yearning within yourself to join me in wanting to fall in love!! Be blessed!
