A glimpse of my love

I feel compelled to share with you pieces from my journal:

Jan 3 - Hope returns

Thank you Jesus for restoring hope. I want to dance. I want to laugh and sing and run and shout at the top of my lungs. I want to live! And I know you are the only one who gives life.

I want to be free!

I dont want to be locked in the chains of shame of who I am and what I've done. I dont want to be trapped in my mind and a victim of my own thoughts and a slave to the judgement of others. 

I want to be free.

Free to be who you created me to be. Free to laugh at myself and to love my mistakes because they bring me closer to you.  Mostly I want to be free to love. Not because people have earned it, but because they are your children and most people walk the other way.

I will love.

Jan 6 - A love story between me and my God

You are the author, the writer, the directorI love you and will follow you all the days that you give me breath. Your mercy and compassion abound in me and I am unworthy to be called your daughter, yet you love me and guide me anyways.

You love me

How amazing your love! It defies all sensible reality and dares to go beyond human understanding into something so deep it lies hidden within our hearts and stirs up a passion so big and desires so real that the world around me is changing.

All because you love me.

I surrender. Your way is the only way I want. I will live the rest of my days following you because you are worthy and because I love you and because your love exceeds ALL love and I trust you even when I cant see and my faith fails me. My heart is yours forever until I die. Then I am yours for eternity.
