because Your love is sweeter than life.

I've heard that verse a lot in my life.

Growing up your stereotypical Christian family, I know a lot of verses in my head.

But when I heard it in church yesterday, I finally grasped it in my heart.

Christ loves me (and YOU) unmeasurably.

Forever, and loves us as we are.

He redeems us.

Renews us.

His love is truly sweeter than life. 

Why?

It's simply really.

Because what is life without his love?

I would be literally nothing. 

No soul.

No Joy.

No purpose.

Because everything good comes from God. (James 1:17)

Its moments like this where I am getting totally stoked on life and on Christ and want to get everyone around me excited. I am a YoungLife leader and find myself in these circumstances often.

We will be reading a passage and here i am shaking the book and practically jumping out my seat trying to get these girls stoked, on Jesus. I get 5 blank stares back at me, they think i'm crazy- whats new? What i have been realizing is that what i have known and heard my whole life actually is the best new ever. I am finding myself finally grasping a small, minuscule percentage of the greatness. 

& I am stoked on it. 

...

Kingdom Moments are everywhere.

Especially in the ordinary. 

thats all.

but really just a small part.

(Ps.63)
