God's Amazing Love :)

How can I describe Your love?
I could sing of You forever, and never scratch the surface of Your awesome glory.
If I were to tell of Your love, my face would light up with joy at the mere thought that You love me, a sinner. That You cared so much that You sent Your Son to die for me.
The awesomeness of Your love astounds me.
I know that I don't deserve it, and that just makes it all the more amazing that You freely gave me the gift of Your love and salvation.

The Struggle of a Christian

Sometimes it's so hard to do what is right
I know in my heart that I should delight
In doing His will, in seeking the LORD
I need to be still, and just hear His Word.
I need to put down my earthly desires,
Or I will just drown in my dirty mires.
What holds me back from doing Thy will?
Is it my lack of courage and skill?
I want to stand out; be a beacon of light
Which ne'er will go out, e'en in darkest night.
Why can't I just do what I know to be right?
I know what to do, yet I can't get it right.
Please help Your child, so lost and alone,
Not to be wild, but to kneel at Thy throne.
I love Thee, oh LORD, so I'll go on my way-
Reading Your word, ne'er ceasing to pray.

The Moment Our Eyes Met

Our eyes met.
I found myself lost in deep blue eyes that rivaled the ocean in beauty.
I felt, for the first time, that I was truly seen.
It was as though those piercing, crystal blue eyes had penetrated my very soul.
I felt as though he could see straight through me: See my thoughts, my hopes, my dreams, my failures.
I felt completely stripped of all pretense, disguises, masks, everything that keeps people from truly knowing me.
At first, it was startling; scary even.... But then liberating.
For once, I wanted someone to see me.
I wanted him to know me: My hopes and dreams, faults and failures.
I wanted to tell him everything and more.
I wanted to share my life with him.
But most of all, I wanted to know him, to see him.
I wanted to know his hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses.
I yearned to know his innermost thoughts and feelings.
I longed to be near him, to learn who he truly is.
He awoke feelings in me I'd never felt before.
He ignited emotions I never knew existed.
When I looked into his eyes, the entire world around me ceased to exist.
I saw an eternity of hope and possibility:
Life, love, joy, happiness, fulfillment.

Full

God is awesome! He's filled me with His love:

He is holy; He's reigning up above.

He came and brought to me new life:

He healed my heart, cast out all strife.

He died for me, that I might live!

He wants me now to freely give

Of what I have, of who I am,

Of everything He's blessed me with.

He knows my thoughts, knows who I am:

He comforts me, and helps me live.

He loves His child: He always will;

I was defiled, but now I'm whole.

He touched me with His healing hand:

Not just my body, He healed my soul.

He's with me right now; in my soul, in my heart:

He's promised me He'll ne'er from me part.

I LOVE GOD!!! He's my help; He's my strength:

How long is He faithful? I can't say the length!

I love Him more dearly than I'd ever thought possible.

He's awesome and great, unbeat and unstoppable.

And so I shall say: Tomorrow, today:

"My Jesus, He reigns! I shall never doubt again."

They Say Love...

They say love can be bought: I say love is a gift.

They say love is just hormones: I say love is deeper, stronger than that.

They say love is like the wind: You can't see it; but you know it's there. I say you can see the love of Christ shining in people's eyes.

They say love is weak; I say it's the strongest thing in the world.

They say love is blind: I say love sees all faults, but still loves nonetheless.

They say love can be lost: I say true love cannot ever be lost; if it's lost, it was not love in the first place.

They say that no one can love unconditionally: I say Unconditional Love is the only kind.

They say love is proud, boasting: I say love is humble.

They say love is all about the physical stuff: I say love goes beyond anything physical.

I say They have never known true love; so who are They to say what love is??? we do not really know what love is until we have experienced the awesome, unconditional love that God has for us. He loves us so much that He gave His unly begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. I pray that They learn what true love is, and are speechless in awe of the awesome god we serve. He is the LORD of all love, and no one can love more fully; more deeply than he does.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

1 Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover

2 Peter 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
