Why do I love Jesus?
Because He first loved me.
There's this thing that I struggle with. I was particularly burdened by it last night. Driving home I realized just how much my choices affect others. I was disappointed in myself. I felt like dirt.
I was listening to music (one if my new IHOP[rayer] favorites). The line of the song that hit me was, "I am Your beloved and You are mine. I've ravished Your heart and You've ravished mine." My first thought was no, how can that be true! I am undeserving of the God of the universe being RAVISHED by me. The song kept repeating that line over and over. I broke down. No! Look at me! Dirty, irresponsible, stupid. It can't be true that You love me this way. The song kept saying it.
So I gave up. And accepted that love which allows me to love Him better.
Romans 8:37
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us
