“The love life of a Christian is a crucial battleground. There, if nowhere else, it will be determined as to who is Lord: the world, the self and the devil, or the Lord Christ.” – Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus Christ is Lord, but my actions and thoughts fail to reflect that at times. My life has come so far. Christ has picked me out of the miry depths, and brought me to the solid rock that is Himself. I have no choice but to be a believer in Him. There are times when I want to shout of God’s love from the rooftops, and times I want to keep Him intertwined in my fingers, safe in the confines of my pocket. But I have no right to attempt to keep Him hidden, so I strive to show that I want God to reign supreme in my life. I want every aspect to reflect His love and show how His mercy has changed me. This could be at home with my family, in the pews of church, on the couch in a dorm room, in a desk at school, or even in my love life. Psalm 47:8 states that “God reigns over the nations”, and if He reigns over all the nations, then He reigns over the smallest details of my life. I believe He is in control, nothing goes without His ordaining or allowing. It is because I trust Him that I can find peace in Psalm 27:14. “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
This is why I wait.
You’re absolutely right. God loves you more than anything and reading your post has been an eye-opener. This totally makes me sound like a creeper, haha and I’m sorry for it, but one book that you simply MUST read is called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. It take me prickles reading that and growing deeper in the understanding of Jesus.
