Truth.

Every tuesday of each week I go downtown to this place called Love War. It is just a group of people that get together to sing and worship our Father. I don't quite know how to explain how I've felt this week. I just know that every time I have prayed this week I've asked for God to draw near to me, I guess I've felt distant from God. So this tuesday I went to Love War with a heavy heart, not knowing what to expect but praying that God would just speak His truth to me. This guy got up and started to pray, and when he did, he prayed that God would just shower His truth onto each one of us, at that moment I knew God was trying to tell me something. The band started singing, "It's not complicated loving you, God". I smile even thinking about it, I lifted my hands and just accepted God's truth being spoken to me. 

To some, that might sound strange, but have you ever thought about it like that? I thought about how many relationships I have had, whether it be a boyfriend, a friend, or even a family member. I think about how complicated things can get sometimes and how frustrating it can be, but yet God is standing there, His arms wide open simply saying, "Its not complicated loving me, daughter." No matter how bad of a day I'm having, He doesn't go out of His way to make it worse... instead, He WANTS to show me His love, He WANTS to make me smile, He WANTS to bless me throughout the day. And he does! Somehow or in some way. Whether it's big or small, His timing is always right. He is so worthy of all of our praise. I just want more of Him everyday. 

It's also crazy to think about how if He hadn't been born, and if He hadn't of died for us, we would have no hope. It's HIS grace and mercy we receive that is available at any time!! He is teaching me a lot about being thankful. Thanking him for everything He has done, and everything He is doing for me. "A life of praise and thankfulness becomes a life filled with miracles." How could I not thank Him and praise Him every single day of my life for what He has done! His birth and death gives us hope, encouragement, joy, and power over sin. 

Even though this isn't anything new, I'm sure most of you have heard all of this before... It's SO important! God's truth has more power over the enemy.

Psalm 19:7-9

The revelation of God is whole

and pulls our lives together.

The signposts of God are clear

and point out the right road.

The life-maps of God are right, 

showing the way to joy.

The directions of God are plain

and easy on the eyes.

God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold,

with a lifetime guarantee. 

The decisions of God are accurate

down to the nth degree.

It's not complicated loving you, Abba.
