This month I asked Jesus to speak to me everyday and give me new revelations about his love. Not strictly for my own benefit but so that I could in turn love people with his love as opposed to mine. His love will stay long after I'm gone. His love will change what my love cant begin to touch. His love changes me and wants to do the same for others.
This is what He told me each day regarding his love:
"My love redeems. My love is compelling. My love involves suffering. My love holds you. My love means making less of yourself. My love is sacrifice. My love gives. My love is focused. My love is sustaining. My love should be treasured. My love is the supplier of all things. My love is sensitive. My love remains. My love means that you are chosen. My love is for all. My love is enough. My love comes naturally. My love is everlasting. My love isn't afraid to get dirty. My love is extreme. My love is genuine. My love is faithful. My love reminds. My love pushes. My love protects. My love is infinite.
I cant put into words how incredible it was to hear from The Lord every single day. Knowing that when I wake up and spend time with Him that He meets me there and leads me to something new has been life changing. Now that I have tasted and seen, I never want to go a day without hearing from Him and allowing Him to direct my steps.
"Taste and see that The Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him."
-Psalm 34:8
While this month has been a month of disconnect from all life outside of Swaziland, it has been a month of deeper connection with The Lord than I ever dreamt possible. It has been hard at times, but it has been so worth it. I wouldn't trade this time for anything.
I've met Jesus on the rock overlooking His breathtaking creation. I've met Jesus as He showed me that my purpose at El Shaddai was to pour His love into the life of a 2 year-old who has cerebral palsy. As I have worked with Him and watched him become stronger I have learned that the only thing that defines us is the fact that we are children of a mighty God. His Heavenly Father doesn't see him as a child who has Cerebral palsy, He sees him as his son. I've met Jesus while cleaning up the pig sty. I've met Jesus while I help the orphanage become self sustaining by gardening. I've met Jesus in the eyes of toddlers who were created in the image of God. I've met Jesus while stopping at nothing to bring smiles to these beautiful children. I've met Jesus while living in community with 48 beautiful people. I've met Jesus in the sweet reminders of my future that He has for me. Take a look at where I've experienced The Lord this month.
