You’ve been re-made… You’re not who you were. You’re new. That’s what Christians call “grace.” It’s the hope of an undeserved love so that we can bear to be vulnerable in honesty and intimacy. It’s what we crave most and what we’re least willing to give. Yet God, we’re told, is willing to give it freely, at a cost to Himself, wave after wave of that stuff, like galaxies in a cup.

Its going to keep hurting, until you realize that there are places in the human heart created only by, and for, God.

I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment: to love my Lord, my God, with all my heart. I don’t want the reputation that I love God, I don’t want to write songs about loving God, I don’t want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes, I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him, I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and it’s real.

A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in his promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too glorious to forsake.

John Piper (via sometimes-alice)
I lost myself for a while. I was me on the outside, but on the inside I was struggling. I was searching for love in all the wrong places, and it wasn’t until I started deeply pursuing the Lord and Him only that I truly found the fulfillment I had been searching for. That’s all it takes, you see. Less of you and more of Him. Less of this world and more of the God who created it.

This Is My Story (via itsmejennap)
The body has many needs. But the soul has only one: to be with God.
