Who Needs a Title?

Lord,
I want them to know Your heart! They NEED to know Your longing for them! Your cries for their hearts to be one with Yours are loud, and I want them to be in love with You, their Maker

All these bodies believing themselves to be worthless, all of these hearts that have quieted and rejected Your, I-love-you's.

How do You not give up? My Lord, You amaze me, for my heart, selfish and small, would have crumbled at such denial; would have angered easily at all the rejection, and yet, You are still here with us You still linger with me.

To understand Your depths to be able to love as compassionately as You, and to rejoice over all as You rejoice over all of Your creation, would surely set me free from the chains that keep me from comprehension, right? But You are God, not I. I learn from Your Words and I observe Your Son, but I am hopeless without You and I lack ALL wisdom without You, because I am nothing compared to You. For You are God, not I. And yet, You love me as powerless, as unloving, as selfish, and as foolish as I am. You have not once turned from me, but it is I who turn from You.

You love me.
You have saved me.

You are my Lord, God!
You are my strength, my teacher, and You are my Father and Redeemer!

Sweet redemption has rescued this undeserving soul.

I am Your child, for You have said so many times Yourself, and I will respect You; I will follow Your precepts that keep me safe and keep me guarded in Your love for me.

And even on my deathbed, You will whisper to me, "My child, I love you so much! You are precious in My sight! Come and breathe new life!"

These words, "You are precious My sight," resonate deep within. Wow! Such authority; such love with which He speaks these words unto me and unto you! Every moment of my life and every moment of yours, He has spoken such love and adoration over our lives, over our hearts and over our souls. He has spoken this over you from since before He knew you, before your mother's womb carried you, He knew you by name!

I am precious in His sight, even while I've been so un-precious to so many people, so many times. But He looks at me, His creation, He sees Himself within the depths of my being, for I am created in His image! He made me out of His splendor and from His glory! And cursed are all those who have said I am worth nothing! Those that have said that I am not precious and un-lovable! For men who dare to speak of others in such ways are hurting God's sons and daughters! All men who have slaughtered others, carried by hearts soiled with lies and darkness, will meet their Creator.

God is burdened with their choices and His heart aches at every word which they have spoken over others with the intent to kill and destroy, and yet, the Lord, God would give even them mercy and compassion the moment they repent for their evil deeds. And I wonder, how different am I from those men? Not so different, indeed. For I sin.

We are all precious in His sight and we are all His creation. But beware, for there will be a time of judgment. At that moment there will be life and there will be death handed out to each of His children. And yours and my ridiculous sense of justice will not define His judgment, but His judgment will be designed around truth and faith. Judgment will not be weighed on a scale made to measure good behavior from bad behavior, but the degree in which the Creator will judge is far above our feeble minds! Far above all you theologians! Far above you! Far above me!

He has waited all this time. He has waited for you and I to come and trust Him! He has called you by name!

Do you not understand? All of you who wait for facts to outweigh faith have wasted time! So many facts lay upon this soil on which we stand, facts that support the earth to suspend in space, but these facts were not waiting for man's discoveries, you fools, merely due to man's intelligence! All of this is due to God's creation!

Open your eyes and truly see! Open your ears and truly listen! Dare to hope in something greater than you! Would you die in your own understanding? Or would you rather hope and find peace in God, the only God who actually loves His creation! The only God who doesn't ask anything in return! He patiently waits for you, His son and His daughter. It's not about what you can do to get to Him. You will never reach Him on your own strength, with your own wit and endurance. But you shall reach Him with love. You will find Him in those quiet moments, some that are hopeless as you see only despair and death, while others you will find Him through joyous occasions. Do you not see? He is with you through ALL of your moments, days, weeks, and life. You don't see because you have not looked with a hopeful and believing heart, because you lie stuck in your hopeless understanding.

You have let facts destroy your hope! Foolish minds and cold hearts, all of which are still precious to Him! I do not understand this preciousness in which God sees in you or in me And so, humbly I fall, for I am not God. I am nothing in my sight. I am a cold and selfish being, looking after my own desires, dictating my own faith in which a so called god will accommodate.

O', my foolish state! And yet, He continues to let me live. He continues to give me what I desire, and He continues to give to me and to provide for me, but I would be all the more foolish if I didn't recognize that it's ALL about how God loves me completely and continually. It's not about what I have. He loves me through the good times and through my bad times.

My Lord deserves my repentance!
"I am sorry!"
I do not deserve His EVERLASTING love! My faith today grows with my hope in God, which then grows my understanding of God. And this grows my love for God, my Creator!

Facts fall in line with my faith, facts are not "covered-up" by an unrealistic faith! A hopeless coward is not what I desire to be, for my God desires me, more than ANY of you ever will!
And I will always choose to desire my King, my magnificent Creator!
