Pursue Love
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal.
Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, and irredeemable" . . . .
~C.S. Lewis
"To give love is to know love."
I love being loved and loving people. I have an amazing family, I love them all very much. I love the refreshment that rain brings. I love the cool breezes in the fall and all the colors of autmn. I love watching children walk with confidence. I love to hold babies in my arms and sing over them. I love being surrounded by genuine people. I love to get completely lost with Jesus in worship, that is when I am completely free and the rest of the world does not exist, it is just me and Jesus. I love music. I love to travel. I hope one day to go somewhere by train. Someday I will go to Africa, India, Brasil, basically everywhere in the world, and see people get radically transformed by the love of God. I love watching people and discovering the things they do and say when they think no one is watching them. I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee mmmmmm... I love tea. I think chocolate is just amazing. I love hearing people sing, even if its not well. I love waterfalls and streams. I love old bridges. I love photography. I love to read a good book. I like to wear scarves in the winter. I love trees. I love mountains, especially the one Jesus takes me to in heaven. I believe that we can fly. I love snow falls. I love looking out at the ocean and feeling small. I love walking on the beach. I love purity. I love the prophetic. I love my bible. I love imagination. I love to paint, Jesus loves my art. I love the supernatural. I love dancing in rain storms and I love standing in wind storms. I love freedom in Christ. I love transformation. I love encounters, dreams and visions. I love to feel the atmosphere shift when God's presence invades a room. I love crying. I love laughing. The Holy Spirit is good at making me laugh. I love hearing cries of desperation from Gods people. I love chasing after Jesus and I love how He pursues me. I love the eternal fire God has placed in me for Him. I love being passionate for Jesus and I love that He is passionate for me. I love that He is my King and I am His princess. I love that even in my darkness He calls me lovely. He is my love, now and forever. He is who I long for, there is none other but Him. He sings me the sweetest songs, and I dance to the rythm of his heartbeat. His love covers me and His peace overwhelms me. Jesus is who defines me. I love that in my weakness Jesus is always strong. I love that Jesus is limitless.
I am a world changer, I am an Esther for my generation, and I will change the course of history. I will not sit back and watch as creation yearns and groans to know God, the God that lives inside of me, and do nothing about it. I cannot sleep while my brothers and sisters are dying without truly living. What was once a faint cry has turned to a deafening roar in my ears and I cannot remain silent, I refuse. I can feel the ground shaking beneath me, craving to know the Divine Designer of the universe and the radical love he has for all creation, and this deep longing I cannot ignore. I will see the love of God transform hearts, cities, and nations as Heaven comes to earth and invades our land. Loving is my destiny.
Basically, I am going for world domination and global transformation. You can watch or you can join me, it's up to you.
