[his will is better]

Because Your unfailing love is better than life itself, I will praise You. [Psalm 63:3] I've been thinking a lot about how much God loves me. Seems kind of taken for granted sometimes, right? That verse in Psalms really stood out to me this week. Lately, there's been stuff that God has been asking me to trust Him in and not take into my own hands. When I read that verse it was like God was saying that His love is better than my dreams, my aspirations, my desires, and everything this life could possibly offer. After giving up His life for me, after all He's done for me, all He's asking me to do is just trust Him. To me that's a great deal, to Him it's so little. It put it in perspective for me because of the contrast. His death - what I want. Jesus gave up so much for me. Sometimes it's so hard to give up that stuff because we, as humans, can't see the end results. [as much as we want to, we can't!] I once read somewhere that the only effective enemy to God's plan for our lives is... us. I know it'll be worth it in the end because God is, well, God! Often when God asks us to give up something, He's going to fill that with something else that is amazing [usually Him]. He may be just waiting for us to give that one situation with a friend, one dream, one desire for us to be able to soar about what we thought possible. His will is always better than our's is. Always.

Love will protect.

Love always hopes.

Love still believes when you don't.

Love is the arms that are holding you,

Love never fails you.

When my heart won't make a sound,

when I can't turn back around,

when the sky is falling down,

nothing is greater than this.

love. <3
