I love the Lord because...

But Peter......Do You Really Love Me?

[Esther]

I love Him so much I just really want to see Him. I want a huge big hug from Him that I know I can never have.

He is God and God is love.

He is worthy of love.

My problem is receiving all His love.

I love Him because He is my friend I can talk to about anything.

Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him. Do you ever hear the Lord asking you the same thing?

Yes...absolutely!! But I think speaking them...in this case writing them, allows for reflection on the reasons why I do love. When I stop to think about who He is and what He gave so that I might live eternally with Him...it almost is too much for the human mind to comprehend.

When I think of the reasons I love Him (in my own totally insufficient way) I get so overwhelmed! I get overtaken with emotion. I've tried to express my feelings a few times and just quit because words seem so inadequate somehow.

I know, girl...these words just dropped in my spirit when I read your post...

When I think about the Lord
How He saved me...How He raised me
How He filled me with the Holy Ghost
How He healed me to the uttermost

When I Think about the Lord
How He picked me up and turned me around
How He placed my feet on solid ground

It makes me wanna shout
Hallelujah...thank you JESUS
Lord, you're worthy of all the glory
And all the honor and all the praise

It makes me wanna shout...!!

I love the Lord because he thinks like me and hates who I hate.

How can we not love Someone who knows us better than anyone and yet still loves us? I love Him because He gives me permission to be who I am without constantly reminding me of who I'm not. Yet, He is always there to encourage me to be the best me that I can possibly be.
