Dearly Loved

This past weekend I was at a Beth Moore Simulcast. The topic was insecurity. Yes insecurity. I am insecure typing insecurity.

The one thing among several things that God showed me through his servant Beth was Kristina, you are dearly loved by the God of the universe. Yes I know as a christian this should not be a hard concept to grasp but honestly I am not that smart and like David Wike said Sunday morning sometimes you have to get back to the basics.

I am dearly loved by the God of the Universe.

You are dearly loved by the God of the Universe.

The question Beth presented was what would you life look like if you lived knowing you were dearly loved by God?

First off I have to be reminded daily I am dearly loved by Him because one I am not good I remembering that and two I know me I don't deserve that love. But isn't that what makes it special? I am dearly loved by God who knows my faults, who knows my deepest thoughts, who knows I don't deserve the love He offers but wants to give it to me...a concept that continues to blow my mind.

But although this dearly loved concept blows my mind I am going to try and live like a dearly loved child of God. I had to put dearly loved on the background on my phone so I could be reminded daily that I am loved by God. Of course I love God but he also loves me! So amazing.

Jimmy Needham has a song called dearly love which I will leave you with. I love this song and would love to sing it to the whole world if I sang in front of people. You can come ride in my car with me and I will bust it out.

Please lay down your arrows
For they're sure to pierce the skin
And water from a broken well
Will make you thirst again
When all things you've acquired
Are tested by the flames
And you can see them melting
Then will you call his name

It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved

To the slaughters you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that he died for you

No greater joy
No greater peace
No greater love than this

It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved

It is worth it!!! A life with Christ is worth EVERYTHING!!

Frustrated

I know it has been a long time...I just haven't been feeling the whole blogging thing lately. But today is different. What I am about to write is probably a big mess but I'm a mess so it fits right?

So have you ever had one of those days where you were just frustrated and you didn't really know why but you knew you were frustrated?

Well that's how my day has been...I don't really know why but I am just in a mood that is not very pleasant. Which is not really good because I am sure I came off as not a very nice person and that is not at all how I meant to come off....so I am sorry if I did.

Again I don't know why I am frustrated...sure there are a lot of things that have been bothering me lately but no reason to be frustrated.

Frustrated is a hard word to spell...it's a tad tricky....I don't want to type it again.

I said this post was going to be a mess....I just wanted to stick to what I said.

So after typing this I feel a little relief. I wonder what put me in a bad mood...I should have stayed home so no one would have been subjected to my bad mood but I couldn't skip Church! I love church and small groups are GREAT!

hmmmm I guess we all have our days and today was mine. Maybe I need to start blogging again. I need some inspiration other than being in a mad mood.

The end...the mess is over
