Love...

There are days when I feel so overwhelmed with love that I cannot stop basking in the beauty of Gods love for me. But its funny how easy it is to forget this love when I get caught up in my own meaningless struggles. I am perplexed at this contrast within myself. Why does it happen? But more importantly what can I do to stop it from happening? Why do I let the complications of my life cloud the simplicity of God's love? Yet in the midst of the fog there is a constant light, a reminder that God is there waiting for me to return to him. It is impossible for me to fathom the depth of Gods love for me and why he would knowingly choose to love a person that runs the opposite way so often.

I look around at peoples lives and wonder, "What is going on inside of you? What are you hiding?" Sometimes I feel like my entire life is a cover up of what is really going on beneath the surface. This stirs up thoughts and emotions about other people’s struggles. I wish I could spend just one day in the mind of one person, I would love to see if anyone is as messed up as I am.

I don’t exactly know what I am trying to get at by writing what I am except this: People cannot truly know peace without God. I, as a Christian do know God and yet I feel so much turmoil in my life. How do people get through life without knowing the God that I have come to know, love and depend on? How do they get through a single day without understanding the peace that God is able to give them? I intend to introduce this God of peace to these people who hide their inner turmoil by taking what they do not have to fill what they do not understand. I plan on showing God to these people in a way that they cannot look to anywhere but Jesus.

If you are one of the people I just described I hope that you will give me and this book a chance. I do not know what you are going through and I am not going to try to understand. There is one thing that I am confident of and that is that Jesus is the answer to any obstacle you may be facing. I know that seems cliché and completely insincere and out of touch, but I assure you it is truth.
