True Love

True love is the essence of human life. It's the beginning, mean and end of our existence. The heart of true love is what drives us to places we could never go or do on our own. So, what is true love? Jesus the King of kings is true love. He exemplified this through sacrifice, service, friendship, fellowship, discipleship and many more. He loves us so much He won't stop pursuing us and He won't let anything or one stop Him. His eyes are fiery and lit for His passion for us and who we are. He wants us to be propelled into places with Him that will pierce our hearts for Him and for people all over the world. From this place of love what happens?
We, as people not just the body of Christ, are longing for His love, and have an overwhelming desire to receive it. In your immediate mind and heart you might not see it, but as you look to Jesus and who He is you can't help but wonder, "what if He really is love?" What if the creator of the universe is at work and is pulling on your heart to receive who He is? The God of the universe LIKES you!! He loves you, yes, but He LIKES you as well. Receive His love and He will do the rest.
This is the place I am at right now in this moment, and this is the place I want to be for the rest of my life. The place of being so captivated by this Man, Jesus and realizing that He is alive and He does like and love me. Seeing His beauty and grace and mercy upon my life over and over again. Never taking my eyes off of the One who sits upon that throne shooting down His rays of love upon His people (which is everyone). Being captivated by the heart of God, I believe, is the best place you could ever be in your entire existence. My prayer is that you see this King of kings for who He is, and you see that He is pursuing your heart by the second and He wont stop. All He wants is for you to realize that He is good and loving.
