True love


Last night I took some time to talk to God about some of the things that I know my heart desires. He told me "when you stop looking is when you will find it". I asked God to show me what he wanted me to be prepared for.   

A leader at YWAM (whom I have only met once) came up to me this morning at worship. She said that God had given her a picture and it was for me.  

She goes on to describe this picture of my life, and everything she said was exactly the conversation I had with God the previous night.
God answered my prayer on what he was preparing for. He let me know in which areas he wanted to grow my roots deeper.  He used someone I didn't know so that I would know he was speaking clearly to me. That is the definition of a true lover.
Remember when a friend or someone you love wrote you a note and left you to find it? It shows that they really thought about it and wanted you to know how much they care.  Well my heavenly father wanted me to know the reality of how much he loves me.
 Allie (YWAM leader) knows nothing about my life, but God does. He spoke through Allie to prepare me for his plan.

Sometimes we think that God only displays this love to some people. The truth is, he wants to do this for all of us but we don't always believe that he will. Ask him and he will show you.

We miss God when we compare him to people


We as human beings cannot fully understand God, but if we ask him, he is so willing to show us. See I noticed that I have often compared God to things in my life.  I used to think that God would leave me like other people have in my life. I used to think that God would walk away from me when I have walked away from him. And the truth that I have found is that, God does not leave me when I need him. God doesn't walk away when I walk away from him in guilt. In fact, God chased me and was by my side the whole time telling me "I love and adore you. I want you to come home."

God is not like us 
So when you think of God, don't define him by the way people have defined you or eachother. 

People judge, lie, deceive, and rob you of things, but God doesn't.

God changed my view from people to him

Now I am just Beginning to see his love because I started to see his character not peoples.
