His love

Psalm 63:3 says "Your unfailing love is better than life itself"

This verse is so very powerful to me. I think it is powerful because I have lived my life searching for meaning. I always knew life had a bigger purpose, and I always knew that I was made for something bigger, but I was always unwilling to accept the truth that Jesus died for me, and I was unwilling to surrender to His plan. I thought it was too narrow and I didnt want to walk away from my little shell of a life. I never realized that I was the one that was too narrow until I finally surrendered to His love. It was only then that I realized how abounding, glorious and worthwhile life really was... Little did I know that my life would begin the moment I accepted His love. Little did I know that He would bless me with "infinitely more than I would ever dare dream or hope or even ask for" (Eph 3:20)

I have been reading alot about the life of Jesus lately. The places He walked, preached, the people He spent time with, the people He healed, the people He condemned. The one thing that stands out through it all is His love for every single one of them. Even His enemies. He just loved them beyond any reason and beyond their own understanding. They all questioned Him, some even betrayed and rejected Him, but His love for them continued despite how they treated Him. This boggles me. How can a man, even God, love like that. How could He love the very people that were about to murder Him for no good reason? The people that believed Him, worshipped at His feet, and the people that denied Him, had Him murdered. Yet His love for them all was the same.

His love really is better than life, and it is my hope that all people will know this...
