This week I have really been taken back. I can't believe that for one day, for one SECOND, I could think I was in control. As if I'm the one telling God where I'm going in life. As if I'm the one giving Him instructions. As if I know what tomorrow's going to bring. As if I can number my days here on earth.
I sit here in awe of how big God is. And I use the word big very lightly. We cannot comprehend the glory of God, how powerful He is, or how much He loves us. After watching Louie Giglio's "How Great is our God" message I have really started to think about how small and insignificant I am. Yet the Maker of the Heavens loves me more than I will ever understand. He wants me. He wants to have a deep and passionate relationship with me. He is jealous for me. And some days I can't "find time" for Him. How can I stand here and now be moved by You? Why am I not content with His love? Why am I constantly searching to be loved by someone who's love for me is incomparable to the love God has for me? I'm not ready to love or be loved by someone else unless I fully understand what the word love really means. God is love. If I want to know what love is I need to know who God is. I need to constantly be longing to know more about Him. I know I will never comprehend how big He is or how much He loves me, but I need to be content with only His love before I can open my heart for someone else's.
1 Corinthians 13:4 "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
