All Along...

Something happens inside of you when you wake up one day (Ok maybe it takes waking up lots of days before it sinks in??) and realize God IS love and all along He's been right in front of you. Not sure where this entry is going. This song says it all... "All along I was searching for somethine more, you're so much more." You will never find anything in this world to complete you. You will never find anything in this world that makes you whole. You have to give all your weaknesses, all your blemishes, all your rotten past mistakes, all the sins of tomorrow, ALL of it to Him.

On FB a friend has been posting verses from 1 Corinthians 13 about love. Why today at 35 it hit be (though glad today not tomorrow :) but God IS love. Given my history reading "Love never fails" in verse 8 and "but the greatest of these is love" verse 13 just would make me sad, mad, and disappointed. Love does fail, and if love is all I have left then crap my cup is empty? But wait. God IS love (see the imaginary 2x4 God keeps smacking me upside the head with lately :). You might be like me thinking Ok sure He is but He's still failed me and still not been there when I need Him. That's a lie of this world. I can sit here with a MAJOR history for of failed love from the world's perspective and thinking all love is gone and tell you God IS love! In what seems like it should me a very deep and long valley for me I see light, I feel love, I have peace and I know strength that I can not explain. I don't want to camp in this valley but it is this valley that has taught me SOOOO much. And I type today humbled that God still cares enough about me to show me His love and teach me His ways. (John 14:27)

Hebrews 13:5 "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you."

If I could shake your shoulders and you could see the tears in my eyes you might understand the passion in my heart about this. If you know me, I am a very passionate and sincere person. If in one minute you acknowledge that God is real, accept that Jesus is His son and died on the cross for your sins then why go on another day living like the rest of His word means nothing? It's full of His truths and really will "make your pathes straight." (Proverbs 3:6)

I have to close but could keep going... God IS love (I wish I could add audio where I could scream that at you and reach through your monitor and shake your shoulders!).

I ask you again, what if IT changed your life? What if you let "IT" be His love? And again I answer with tears in my eyes... He's changed mine!

Here are the lyrics to this song:

All along I was looking for something else, Youre something else

All along I was looking for something more, Youre so much more

I finally found what I could never see before

Youve always been the one that I was looking for
