Fear not

bli: Catch You Later, Jesus

brianli:

How many times are we going to treat Jesus like a dog whom we tell to wait outside while we go inside of a restaurant? Hey Jesus, let me just tie you to this fire hydrant while I go head on inside to indulge in whatever I want for a while. What’s that? You want to come in with me? Sorry, I don’t…

Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

Yet, we all need an encounter with our Creator that results in Him becoming greater in our thinking and our affections, while reshaping us into the people He has always dreamed we could be.

I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment: to love my Lord, my God, with all my heart. I don’t want the reputation that I love God, I don’t want to write songs about loving God, I don’t want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes, I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him, I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and it’s real.
