Alive


Where do you feel most alive?

"Come to Me all ye who are tired/weary and I will give you rest."

The place of resting in the Lord, the place of doing what He created me to do, the place of being completely myself and not acting how I think I should or only saying "the right thing" but just being me-me in His presence,me in His day by day plan for my life, me in His peace,me in His rest,me in His freedom,me in His promises,me in His beauty, me in His grace...

--"the place" where I feel most alive is in His unconditional love--

I live in Him by loving Him and by showing that unconditional love
...simply the overflow of His love in our hearts can change the world.

"to be completely loved is to be completely known"
...He knew me, with all my flesh and weakness and chose to love me before the foundations of the earth...He created me and chose to make me in His own image...He died an undeserving death for me and chose to give me life...He has written out each day of my life and chose/longs for me to follow His lead...He just asks that I love Him in return and recieve His great love..His unconditional love for me...

"I have found the answer is to love You and be loved by You alone"

"in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us...no things present or things to come, no powers, no height, no depth or anything else in all creation will be able to seperate us from the love of God..." Romans 8 :37-38

this is the picture of His unconditional love for us-- a love that can be seperated by nothing.
soak it up.
rest in it.
receive it.
give it.
breathe it.
dwell in it.
stay there, in His love.
freedom is there.
live in it.
you will be yourself.
you will be alive.
