His Love is So Deep

How much deeper can I go? How much farther can God take me? Once again God's love has been poured out upon me. The more I encounter Him, the more I feel connected, and the more I want to go deeper and deeper. This week we had Jimmy Stewart come and speak on the Father's love for us. When I first started the week, I didn't know what to expect. I mean, I grew up in an amazing Christian household with parents that loved me and guided me in the way of Christ. I didn't think that this would be a huge thing for me, but on Friday something happened. God, the Father, came and spoke with me. We talked back and forth. I waited on Him and He spoke. I answered and He replied once again. It was amazing. He spoke such sweet things to me. He held me and called me His daughter. He told me He delights in me and thinks I'm absolutely beautiful. And He told me that all He wants is to just be with me. I don't have to do certain things and strive to be "righteous." If I just dwell in Him, it will happen. It's so amazing that God loves me, loves us, so much that it doesn't matter what we say or what we do, He just wants us to delight in His presence. And believe me, it is the most comforting thing.

Throughout the week God just kept telling me to come like a child, like His child. He wants to hear everything that is on my heart, good or bad. He wants to rejoice with me and help me. When He told me that, I thought of my niece, Ryleigh. I had gotten a video of her and she was telling me what she would do that weekend. She was so excited to just tell me everything! And God wants us to be like that. To be so excited to tell Him everything. He also told me that He just wants to hold me tenderly and softly. The picture of my niece Joslynn resting in Tyler and Amber's hands came to my mind. So tiny, but so loved. That's what I imagine it being like in God's hands. Resting so peacefully in His hands and that His hands just embrace me with so much love. That no matter what, good or bad, He will hold me forever in His hands.

I miss you and I'm praying for you all back home. Love you and God bless
