The Fathers Love Letter!

Recently God has really been teaching me about His love! I asked Him to enlarge my heart so that I could love people more. The last few days God has been pouring is love into me to the point where I felt I was breaking. I can only describe it by saying that my heart wasnt big enough so to expand it He has to tear it. It has been amazing. On Sunday I was a wreck in church just crying and crying. I felt so unworthy of a pure and amazing love like I was experiencing, the more I felt unworthy the more He poured in His love, He was healing me. Anyway I love reading this letter and wanted to share it with people. God loves you, whoever you are this is for you!

I love this, everytime I read it! And the amazing thing is, it can't really even begin to describe God's love for us, its just so amazing, we havent got a clue!
I was chatting to someone the other day who is a mum, and she was saying some of the ways God has revealed more of his love for her in situtions when she is totally in love with her kids-particularly when they mess up big time! I can wait to have kids coz i know it will give me a glimpse of God's love for me! But I just want to know so much more of his love, and then I know I will be in love with him even more!! I am longing to know more and I know its a dangerous thing to ask coz itl break me!!!! Just a tiny glimpse more Lord!
I have been so blessed to have known since I can remember, that Jesus really loves me, and to really have known this at the bottom of my heart, and I think this has influenced and blessed my life so much coz I just know, that He always loves me! And each year of my life I have learnt a little (or a lot) more about his love!
If you are reading this and aren't really sure if God loves you-HE DOES! Even if you think you are the most messed up and worst person in the world-He LOVES YOU, thats the whole point! It goes beyond our understanding of human love! It's God sized love - and God is soooo big, he doesn't let silly human messed up stuff get in the way of Him loving you with all his heart!!
ARGH I WANT MORE LORD!!!!!!!!!!
