The only time I've seen Him run...

I cant help but notice how hungry, and thirsty, and deprived our world is of love.
Love has the power to fix every problem we have.
Financial, poverty, greed, hunger, war... it can fix everything. I see all these Vampire movies out and they are all stories of love, of a forbidden love. And Taylor Swift who is such a hit.. cause all her songs are about love. Broken love; beautiful love... and they're all hits. Movies are hits because the love between characters captivates the audience.. we're so desperate for love.. aren't we?

AREN'T we?



It only makes sense, we were MADE to love.
We're supposed to love.
We were created: by Love.. for: Love.
So it doesn't surprise me that every media craze is about love, and the most amount of advice people need is on love and relationships. Everything is a love story.

And deep inside we all hope that we can find someone to love us like Edward Cullen; like that guy from The Notebook. We long for it, men and women alike. We hope and pray that we can find someone to love us so unconditionally, so faithfully, so patiently and lovingly.

Can you feel my heart shattering?

I'm so broken, and so torn, because I know the Creator of that very love. And He longs, He longs to be with His people. His children, His lovers. I cannot help but wonder what the world would be like if people knew the Love of God. If people know how much, OH how MUCH He loves us. If people could only see the Bible for the love story that it really is. It outdoes Twilight, T.Swift, and any other Titanic like crap out there. I mean.. its not crap but... it cant hold a flame to the Love of God.

I don't know how to express it, but I want everyone to know.. I want them to know they ARE beautiful, they ARE worthy, they are worthy of the highest price.. of the highest love attainable. He runs to us, with arms open, arms that can never be shut... arms that heal, and save, and protect. Arms that are strong, arms that never grow weary or weak. Arms that defend... we HAVE a Savior... why are we still looking? So blindly... just going through all these motions hoping someday we will find that fulfillment.

UGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone as torn as I am over this? It's KILLING ME! How can we be so blind to a love so real, how did this happen? How did we grow so far from the one who's always been there, and who loved us since before time began? How... how did this happen? Not only do we avoid it but we shut it down in ways so heartbreaking I cannot imagine how it kills God's heart. We don't just deny it, we say awful awful things about it. Christians and non- Christians alike. We claim to have found that love and just dwell day after day in our sin.. not realizing we're supporting the very things that crucified Christ. We cannot serve two masters, and if we think that we can; we also call Jesus a liar.

I have no conclusion for this post, perhaps I posted to early. I didn't give myself enough time to gather my thoughts and answer my questions.

What I can tell you with honesty though; is how precious that grace appeared.
How precious, and how unimaginably real that grace appeared.. the moment He set me free.


The only time,
I ever saw Him run...
Was when He ran for ME <3
