God's love is amazing. I sit here, not fully grasping it. Can I fully grasp it? It's too vast for me. Questions flood my mind, right or wrong. Why does He love me? I know me. I know the inside of my heart and the wickedness of it is embarrassing. I know the sinfulness of this ragamuffin and I can't help but be in awe that God would even consider loving me. Why?
I am overwhelmed this morning. I can't fully put into words what I am feeling. It's got something to do with God's love being too great and me undeserving. To think that this God of all the universe has an intimate love for me. Not just a passing love that we tend to have for others and not some limited love that we have...but a love that is infinite and everlasting. He loves me. He loves me for me. He doesn't wait on me to do my devotion to say "I love you." He has already said it in the work of the cross and longs for me to live in this great and awesome love. I don't have to "do" to be loved by God. It's not some love that you earn by the things that you do. It's a love that is beyond our comprehension. It's an unconditional love. Obviously, it's a love that is unfathomable.
This morning, my heart just wants God to know how much I love Him. It longs to express the affections that it has for its creator and sustainer. My heart longs to run to Abba and embrace Him with all that I am. I just want to express my love this morning.
Why do I have such a hard time? Is it my sinful heart that turns to idols and gods of this world? Is it my fallen nature? Is it my inability to fully express my heart's longings?
It doesn't matter. All that matters is: I love you God. You are my Father- my everything. Let this heart express its desires to rest in you and accept your warm embrace.
