To the Love of My Life

My beloved,

You are more than beautiful. Words could never describe how much you mean to me. You are worth more than life itself. I want to give you my everything without holding nothing back. You are the most precious thing to me and I would literally die for you. When you see ugly, I see beauty. When you see imperfection, I see perfection. When you see brokeness, I see radiance. How beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you. You are the bride and I am the bridegroom. My love for you ascends over any earthly love and it is all for you my love. You have stolen my heart. Let me hold you when the tears cease to flow from your eyes. When you can't sing songs to me because your heart is too weak, let me sing to you. When the weight of the world is sitting on your shoulders, let me lift you from under it and carry the weight for you. I am merciful and would never abandon you; I will always come running after you. Never worry about anything because I will prove myself worthy of your trust, just give me the chance. Let me love you like no other could ever love you. But even when you can't find the strength to prove your love for me, I will lay down my life just so you will know that you are a treasured jewel in my hands.

I love you more than life itself,

Jesus

New Life ♥

This morning as I was reading in Romans 6, I was so amazed by what it was saying.

"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been set free from sin." (4-7)

Because Christ died for us, we have new life. It completely blows my mind that we can be made new and changed into something beautiful through this redemption. We were once in slavery of sin but because Jesus Christ gave His one and only life, we are dead to the sin that once controlled us. That is mind blowing! I guess the one thing that gets to me is how Jesus saw us worth His life - that we were more important than life itself. That His love is better than living. Even though we mess up so horribly sometimes, God wants us to have new life. We, myself included, have to remember that we are dead to sin since we have been raised up into new life with Christ. 


~ "For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."

Have You Ever Wanted?

Have you ever wanted to just the hand of Jesus on your shoulder whispering in your ear "It's ok, I love you."? Sometimes we feel that noone really cares about what we're going through yet the Father of love cares so deeply for us and we forget that so many times. I know I've forgotten that these past few weeks. At our weakest, God is His strongest. We look for something more in this world but with the sweet love of Jesus, what else do we really need? In His sight, we are the most beautiful thing and He sees perfection in us when we so miserably fail at everything it seems. I mean who else can we say would give up their lives for us and actually do it? God is the Relentless Lover and we are His first love. He never gives up on us because He wants us back. Beloved, let the fact of what our Lord suffered for you grip you, and you will never again be the same ♥

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion, therfore I will wait for Him.'" ~ Lamentations 3:22-24

"But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9
