Last night I cried. I just came home and cried.
But this time, they were not tears of sorrow or filled with fear but tears of joy and filled with so much love. Bursting with love.
I’m overwhelmed. Incredibly so.
I live in the promise that I have a Creator and Father in Heaven who loves me deeply and profoundly, unrelenting and recklessly. This great, undeserved love gives me an unspeakable joy and inexplicable peace.
And from this love overflows love for others.
I’m so in love.
I’m deeply in love with my sweet Savior.
And because of this, I love.
I can have love.
Sometimes I feel that I’m living in a fairytale.
How can it be?
How can it be that I get to live in this beautiful place surrounded by remarkable people in the unshakable hope that I am a daughter of God?
We are all knit together, you see, by Christ with souls of one accord.
I’m so in love.
I’m deeply in love with my merciful Savior. < I am my beloved and He is mine>
And am overflowing with love for you all.
I cried because I could have never imagined that I could have this much love in my heart and feel so deeply known and loved.
“If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.”
-Philippians 2:2
