He Knows

God gave his whole self- everything He was for us. His only son. His life. The very breath He breathed, He gave it to us. All that He had was stripped away for us. All because He was and is in love with us. Are you in love with Him? He is in love with you. So much so that He knows everything about you. Every thought, breath, desire, delight, dream, hope, fear, wonder- He knows it ALL. Everything that has to do with you: everything that goes on with you & in you, around you,  and everything that concerns you- He knows. Because He loves. He loves deeply, all of you. He is in love with you. More so than you or any human mind can ever understand. He loves you- simple as that. No matter what you do, He loves you.

"Jesus, lover of my soul. Jesus, I will never let you go. You've taken me from the mighty grave, You set my feet upon the rock and now I know; that I love You, I need You. Though my world may fall, I'll never let You go. My Savior, my closest friend. I will worship You until the very end."

Something I came to realize recently:

I could try and do everything on my own. Plan out my own future. Decide on my own career. I could do everything and take all of the appropriate steps for a "happy life". It would probably even look great from the outside, but it would be pointless. That's not what I want. I want to abide in Christ. To grow closer and become more acquainted with Him. To learn to trust fully in Him. I belong to Him. So where do I go from here? I trust in God. I am patient in knowing that He has it all in His hands. Does that mean I'm going to be sitting around, boringly waiting? NO. I'll be living out the beautiful, adventurous life that God has planned out for me. Growing closer to Him and the wonderful people that He has placed in my life. Growing in the ability to walk in love with all of His beloved children. 

God is love. He is my Rock. His beauty is evident everywhere you look; it's amongst the trees, the sky, and even in the intricate architecture all around us. He is beauty. The air we breathe smells of His love and beauty. His lovely aroma is everywhere. Beautiful Lord.
