Amazing Love

Like I have been saying I have been reading that book called "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge. And I have to say its amazing. God has really been working in my life through reading that book. Some of the book talkes about how God wants to romance us. It was also talking about the relationship between a bride and the bridegroom (because we are the bride of Christ). It was so fascinating I never thought of it like that. Just that God is so deeply, deeply in love with us, that He wants us far more than we want Him. He even usest things in nature to grab our attention. Its so absolutely amazing how God's love can completely set you free. I am truly beginning to realize now that everything I could ever want and need is in him, and as I delight myself in him, he will give me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4). I mean He wants to spend the day with us, he wants to be involved in every area of our lives. He wants to go into the depths of our hearts where we might not let anyone else see and heal the wounded broken places. When we are hurt, he wants to dry our tears. Its absolutely amazing. So yeah, God has just been really showing me how much he really loves me, and through that its setting me free from things I didn't even know I was bound by, and healing hurts that I tried to pretend weren't there. Anyway, I really encourage you, if you are a girl to read that book. And if you are a guy John Eldredge wrote a book called "Wild at Heart" which is for guys.
