HE did it again.
HE took me to the end of myself,
so that HE could fill me with
MORE OF HIM.
Even though I know that GOD wants ALL of me,
I wonder if HE really means
ALL.
So I ask HIM~
"BUT GOD if I give you my ALL
then where I would be?"
And then I can almost hear
GOD chuckle
as HE KNOWS that I will be
in the SWEET SPOT with HIM
experiencing so much MORE
then I could ever experience on my own.
HIS LOVE is FREE,
and we are ALL FREE to RECEIVE it,
as HE is always offering to
LOVE me & LOVE you
with HIS ALL.
Yet don't we complicate it
because it sounds oh so simple
to just RECEIVE HIS LOVE,
because the thought of
giving GOD your ALL
makes you feel like you would lose yourself.
And that is exactly what
GOD WANTS
because
HE KNOWS us ALL way too well
because
HE CREATED us ALL
and who doesn't KNOW who HE CREATED,
better than the CREATOR HIMSELF?
Oh how I can be LOVING GOD with my
ALL
and then something happens to me
that is so
UNLOVING
that I feel like I have nothing left.
Have you been there?
And then GOD HAPPENS
because HE is the ONLY ONE
who can fill that empty space
with the LOVE that you so crave.
The sweet spot of SURRENDER.
I have been there many times
because
GOD never stops
LOVING DEEPER
as HE continually takes me deeper into
HIS LOVE
that is a running stream that never ends~
"The steadfast LOVE OF THE LORD never ceases; HIS mercies never come to an end" (Lamentations 3:22).
GOD NEVER STOPS LOVING
or HE would have never sent
HIS SON with an INVITATION~
"Come to ME. Get away with ME and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with ME and work with ME~
watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with ME and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
(Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)
And then you hear yourself chuckle,
because WHO really
offers such an INVITATION.
BUT what does LOVING cost?
NOTHING for us
BUT it cost JESUS HIS ALL.
GOD asks for NOTHING,
but ALL of you
so that you can become
ALL that HE created you to be.
I am not who I was
and tomorrow I won't be who I am today
because
my GOD will not let me stay the same
because
HIS LOVE runs so deep
that is unfathomable
that it never dries out,
especially when we get to the place
when we get dried out,
when we get to the end of ourselves~
THE SWEET SPOT
that becomes a welcoming well
where
GOD'S LOVE
spills out and fills
it to the top.
And then you wonder why
you ever questioned
who you would be
if you gave your ALL to GOD.
Because
why wouldn't you give
GOD your ALL
when you & I are
"THE ONE YOU LOVE"
