Because I love Jesus.

I just wanted to write about him.
I just want to shout about him.
He is truth and life and everything to me.
He is my foundation and my solid rock, my hiding place and my shield, my strength, my comforter, my sustainer.
Even when I'm less than faithful, he's right beside me. When I'm not good enough, he loves me limitlessly. When I mess up, he brings me back to him every time.
He makes me stop looking at myself and turn to fix my eyes upon Him.

It hurts so much that you might not know him, that you might not know his love. You assume we preach at you because we think we're better at you, we want to impose upon you, we're making you be like us. WRONG WRONG WRONG. We fight for you, for your soul, for your very life, because we care for you. Because our Lord loves you so much he died for you and you don't even know it. And he has changed our hearts so we can see you through his eyes, as someone he wants to redeem, to restore, to love. Please understand this: God loves you.

Trust him. His plans are working towards the most amazing future:
"I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."- Revelation 21:3-4
Sometimes writing has a purpose, and sometimes it's just an outpouring of the heart.
Today my heart says praise to God.
