Ah Ha!!

So last night I decided to blow the dust off the Bible and settle in for a little God and I time and I am so glad I did. I opened up to 1 Corinthians 13 - the famous love chapter. "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." And then it says, "Love never ends." In the moment that I read those three little words my whole perspective was changed. I had been reading this passage and thinking about love in general and how I am to love others. But this time God gave me an "ah ha" moment that was so amazing and exciting it bubbles up in me right now! In 1 John it says "God is love." Love never ends. God's love for me never ends!! God never ends, and His love never ends. His love "bears all things" and "endures all things" that I put it through. I just wanted to share how Jesus touched my heart so deeply. Isn't that so incredible that our Lord's love never ends?

It is so exciting to have such a deep connection with a God that loves us so consistently. He has taught us so much about consistency through loosing Adam to the birth of our two children. He wants us to be completely satisfied in Him and the good things he blesses us with. Choose every day to be blessed by his love for you. If you knew that you had no tomorrow, would it change what you did today? Do not be discouraged by little failures. Continue to accept his joy and his love and live in the happiness that he so desires for you.
