These words are not enough

This will be short because it is early and I just felt like writing some thoughts...

How awesome is God? I have to say that lately I have been so wrapped up in the mere thought of Him. I have this excitement that I can't hardly explain. He is all I want, all I need. It is truly God's joy inside of me and hopefully working through me. I spent time with some close friends this past weekend and we stayed up pretty late talking about our views on God and about our own relationships with him and with others through Him. That is what God wants from us. He puts others in our lives to keep us going, to bring joy in our lives and uplift us. We have been given so much and I can't help but ask why would I not want to live a life in return to my God? I feel that I grow everyday and that I truly search the Bible for the vision that God has for me. He has plans for all of us, cliche I know, but it is so true. In the past couple of weeks, I feel him growing in me and its something that I don't want to stop. I feel blessed and loved by God. He opens my eyes in the situations where I am lost and simply says, "Why worry? You have me and, you know, that is all you need. I will be here for you and no matter what else happens, that will be enough if you allow me to live in you." It has kind of been a small reformation in my heart this summer, but now I return to school. A good place, but what of its love for God? He has opened a massive door of opportunity for me to simply love others and show them that God is good. He is amazing. He is all that I need.

He is calling me on the adventure that I wrote about a few weeks back. It is a call to live for him. It's so simple, yet so complex. All he wants from me is for me to love. To love others, to love him. But he gives us something that without we would be lost. He gives us hope, hope in his son that we may live a life for him on this earth. I feel that he has put a challenge in front of me. He is telling me to reach out to those in need of him, but the beauty of doing this is that I will grow and find myself while fellowshipping with others. God has made this life a beautiful thing that we can find friendship and love to rejoice in him. The coolest thing of all this is not that I chose him. It isn't that I have found God and liked what he had to offer. The greatest thing of all this is that he FIRST loved me. He chose me, in all my imperfections...He still chose me, he still loved me. Thank God for his glory and may we all remember him every second of our life and rejoice in the future I may have with you, even if I do not know you, because Christ died for me and you so that we may one day join him with his Dad up in heaven and forever live in joy, peace and love. But as it is said: the greatest of these is love. Love. He allows us to love and forever live in it with him.
