Deeper in Love

I think there is a kind of de facto that occurs with obtaining wisdom or with a simple and faith-driven revelation. When I realized the kind and quality of love that God feels for me - I mean, the kind a fairy tale prince couldn't compare to - was when I started feeling more resentful of my situation in life. I'm "stuck" here. I don't have options. I guess waiting is the theme God has employed in my life.

I'm melancholy, no fun, and touchy, and then what does God do?

He loves me... again.

And he wants me to know more than ever in these past weeks that His love doesn't depend on my mood or circumstance. I read today that God purposely puts His saints in useless places (I had to re-read it, too). Useless? Yes! Because He is not worried about me feeling "useful," He wants me to live a life that glorifies Him to the utmost. Period. If serving Him in this hole that I'm stuck in honors Him, then I will devote myself to the hole. It's God's hole. I am nobody unless my life is His.

Deeper in love. I'm falling down this deep, endless, warm and inviting abyss of love. If I could describe to you the holes in me that are being filled, the wounds healed, the joy fulfilled, the strength provided, the utter peace within my soul... you would beg the same of Him.

His love has no boundaries. Grasp that one truth and trust, and then hang on. Life is not roses, so don't expect God to give you whatever you want, or to bless you with riches. His promise is heaven and that cannot be compared to even your most passionate desire here on earth.
