My Love Story

You may have been expecting some super romantic story or maybe a really racy one. You're not going to get either. Sorry. What you will get is this...

My life used to be focused on a lot of things...

friends
school
guys
work
money

It was never enough. It was never enough because I was missing the only piece that could truly fill me. I was missing Jesus.

You "fall in love" and think it's your fairy tale love story. Until your heart breaks and you realize it was never whole to begin with. Your Heart breaks... for Jesus. Then you fall in love with Him.

My life is now focused on Him, centered on Him, for Him. All those other things are just a bonus. All those other people are a blessing. But above all, it's Him.

Jesus was crucified for us.
Jesus nailed our sins to the cross.
Jesus saves us.
Jesus loves us.
Jesus.

He is what life is about. He is why we are here. He is why I am writing this. I want everyone else to experience what I am... not the health problems, divorce, and moving back in with your parents in your 30's. No, I want you all to experience the result of that brokenness. I want you to experience Jesus.

I lost what I thought was my life only to find what I really gained was new life. Eternal life. Jesus.

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:38-39

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19
