“God loves you….”

How often have we heard that in our lifetime? God is love, God loves you….Jesus loves you….probably more than we can count.

When does His love actually become real to us? I invite you to watch this video, and then continue this thought with me afterwards…

I have found something on this journey of mine. God’s love never became real to me until I realized how much I did not deserve it. It wasn’t until I was at my lowest point of brokeness and emptiness that His love swept over me and I truly understand what the “love of God” really was.

I felt that as I continue on in life, there comes points of emptiness and brokeness over and over and over again in my life. Why do these keep happening? Maybe you ask yourself the same question? Why are these tragedies happening to me? Why am I at rock bottom? Why is my back up against the wall, and the pressure is so thick on me I feel like I am going to lose my mind. Where do I go? What do I do?

Do you feel lost? Like you just have nothing anymore? Have you messed up one too many times? Feel like a failure?

It’s time to experience the love of God like never before. Just like Kim says in the video….God wants to encounter YOU. I love the line where she says “my afflictions eclipsed by glory….” God’s love is SOOOO deep, much deeper than you realize. So instead of getting caught up in your emptiness and loneliness, look up (usually the only place you can look) and totally experience His love.

Every valley you experience, use it as a time to get lost in the love of God. It’s time to believe it…experience it. Stop running from it. Let God capture you….in His love….
