    HOW HE LOVES by DAVID CROWDER (w/ Matt Chandler and John Piper)

    I got saved and kept on doing. So where am I supposed to go? Cause apparently Jesus doesn’t work for me. He goes no, no, no, we’ll work through this.  I’m not letting you go in the meantime. Oh we’ll get there, I’ll finish it. I started it. I’ll be faithful to finish it. Don’t give up. Keep walking, keep pressing in. Keep confessing, but don’t give up. I’ll heal you. I won’t let you go. There is no one who can condemn you. I don’t. And if I don’t, no one can. You’re MINE. What court could they possibly charge you in? Everything’s MINE.

    God in eternity looked down upon me and seeing my follies, my pride, my sin, He said, “I want that man in my family. I would do anything to get him in my family. I will pay for him to be in my family with my son’s life. That’s love, folks. That is mega, off-the-charts love.”

    Why? Because He loves you that’s why. You got this weird compartmentalization thing that happens where you don’t think God sees all that you are or that if He could or somehow knew, He wouldn’t have gone to the cross. Listen, God knew you were going to be messy. Christ knew you were going to be messy. God knows you’re going to screw up often, God knows you are going to get drawn to wicked things. That’s what the cross is all about, that’s the whole point of the cross is that you’re gonna fail, and stumble, and you’re gonna feel dirty and you’re gonna feel awkward. The whole point of the cross of Christ is there is this mighty picture of His love in pursuit of you, despite you. So the cross is necessary because of you but it is also the picture of how far God is willing to go because He loves you.

imperfect lass. struggling through womanhood. 19 and will forever be a teen. OCPD (undiagnosed). once had avoidant personality disorder(self-diagnosed). loved. loves. alive.

learning to:
be still
walk on water
listen and cast my nets when He commands to
see grace in everything

Jesus loves me. I love Him. He loves you. I love you.

still imperfect but i have a perfect Savior.
