Falling In Love…with God
So I’m a depressed, pessimistic, sarcastic, know-it-all, who is constantly confused about life and always messing up. Who would love me?
How many of you guys have thought something along these lines? Some thoughts crossing through your mind that you are not that great and you don’t deserve to be loved, cared about, or respected? Anyone? Everyone? If not, great. That’s awesome. I think the majority of people have however struggled with this at one point or another. So for those of you still struggling, I have an answer.
God loves you.
And here is where a lot of you role your eyes and stop reading. If you choose to be that person, fine so be it. I would hope that you would continue to read, however.
God made you. He is so in love with you. And you should be to him. I know it’s something you’ve probably heard before many times and been like yea ok w/e….but that boy…Well here’s a newsflash to you. Who created that boy? *cough* God *cough* So who should you be in love with? The boy? Or the God who loved you enough to create you (and the boy)?
My point is this. Don’t let guys (or girls) distract you from the God who loves you, created you, and cares for you. Over the next few days-and forever if you so choose-when you spend your time daydreaming about that person or talking to them or w/e, take half (or more) of that time and give it God. Pray, read your bible. Get a chance to know him better, so that you can fall in love with him. I promise you, you will have this lasting joy. You will know you are loved and cared for. You will be at peace, if you truly fall in love with God.

That’s one thing that I loved from the book ‘Every Young Woman’s Battle’
The idea of ‘bouncing’ your thoughts. .
Everytime you’re tempted to think about that certain guy{[or girl]} instead bounce those thoughts up to thinking about your one true love{[God]}
It really does work.
I love you chicky babe. (:
