He loves us

I am sitting here completely overwhelmed by a new and deeper revelation of God.

I remember when I was dating Doug and just meeting his parents we went to Red Robin and they talked of God and faith all of the time. I was a Christian at the time but in my head were thoughts of, "why is this family so "spiritual" always talking about God and faith, etc. all of the time!!" Well as life has gone on and God has matured me in who he is and who I am in him, I get it!
There is a song by Jesus Culture called "How He Loves",(I challenge you to look it up and really listen to the words). Talks about how he is jealous for us, how he loves us, how beautiful He is and great His affections are for me, if grace is an ocean we are all sinking, I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way...he loves us. This is another one of the may worship songs that just "messes me up", in a good way. I am recognizing that if I am not changed what is the point?
My man, Doug preached at our home church here (and did an amazing job). He dug into understanding our covenant with God, and how we really don't get its fullness. He dug into Galatians 3:15-29, and wow! Coming to a new revelation of God and how much he loves us is so amazing to me! The law is our own efforts trying to make ourselves right with God. God gave the law to point out the flaws in us, we use law to prove ourselves holy. The law is not bad, Romans 7:7 “I would not have known sin if it were not for the law”. The purpose of the law is to point us back to Jesus.
My prayer this year 2010 was to truly say “I am in love with Jesus and mean it, not just words but a heart changed and truly in love with my Jesus”. I think that I am beginning to only touch the tip of the ice berg. I see his word for a true genuine love letter to us.
