Looking for Love

If love is a commitment... If love is a choice... If love is laying your life down for someone else... If love is mercy... If love is a product of grace... If love is more than a clashing cymbal... If love is forever... If love is a one way street... If love is truth... If love is light... If love is humble... If love is giving... If love is in Jesus... COUNT ME IN!

It's all I've wanted since I was about 7 years old. My parents divorced when I was in 2nd grade and in that moment all the realities of life crashed into my soul like a flood of strife, angst, anxiety and doubt. I thought that if my family couldn't stay together than nothing could hold together. I saw the division and how it changed every aspect of my reality. From that moment I desired to find a love of my own that could withstand any struggle, that could overcome any obstacle. I know now what I didn't know then...

My heart was crying out for Jesus. I was being filled with a desire for an incorruptable love. My circumstances were crushing me, yet the hope of Christ was seeping through the cracks in my life. I'll confess that I have struggled the last few days asking God why this has all happened to me. Sometimes I question God when I cannot see His ways. I guess I really wanted to write this to renew my own faithfullness... He has overcome every obstacle in my life to this point and called me His own. This is just a reminder to myself that any situation can be used to honor Him if we hold on to the hope of His life.

The further down we must go... The higher we will RISE to be with Him.
