Soaking in the Love


          God’s love, it changes you and you can’t ever be the same.  Each time I encounter God’s love I am inspired to go deeper.  Deeper into everything that God is, and what is God?  Love. So here I am wanting to know more love, wanting to feel love in a new way, and wanting to express love in a new way.  I just want to love, in everything that I say, in everything that I do.  I just want to give more love and give it unconditionally, to whoever.  Even to those who are different then me, even to those who hate me!   

         ‘Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.   And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’    Matthew 22:37-39

         Love the Lord your God and love your neighbour.  This has always been a struggle for me.  Not the part about loving God, but about loving my neighbour.  I don’t know how it all began, but somehow, sometime I was taught that there are people who are easy to love, people who take a little bit longer to love and people who just aren’t lovable at all.  How awful!   Why was I ever taught this? How did this even become a thought process in my mind?

          God has done a lot in my life this year.  He’s taught me a lot about His love.  And the more I learned about His love, the more I wanted to know, the deeper I wanted to go into it.  So as I explored His love and went deeper, I began to understand something.  I began to understand that the more love I felt, the more love I wanted to share.  I began to see those people who aren’t lovable, as lovable.  I began to have this passion to love those people who I never thought I could love.  

         When you truly begin to love someone you start to change your way of thinking for them.  You allow their love to soak everything you are.  God love is a love so strong, stronger than any human love that you cannot help but be different because of it.  You cannot help but see things differently after you’ve been completely drenched in His love.

God is pouring His love down on me, it's soaking me, every part of me.
