So guess what?
Right now, God is waiting for you...to talk to him. To pray.
He is eagerly awaiting to hear your voice, as he is currently planning what your next day will bring, cute ways to show you he loves you...whether its his voice whispering to you how pretty the flowers look, how sweet the wind feels, smells, the clouds moving across the sky-all made for your enjoyment. Whether its tomorrow in church, and you just KNOW that the message your youth pastor spoke about was specifically for you and what you've been facing latley. Whether an old friend calls you up-him reminding you that even the oldest, long-distance friends (aka, you and God) need to be in communication for your relationship to thrive, to move forward.
He loves you...He wants you to know that.
Your eyes casually glance toward your Bible and you feel that gentle tug...do you pick it up, read a verse or two? Maybe find that a verse or two turns into three, four, ten...and soon you're reminded of why you love this book, His Word, in the first place. Thats Him, chasing you.
He loves you...He wants you to know that.
What about when a friend says something hurtful, and you're shocked and struggling to remember why you were friends to begin with. Or you look in the mirror and see only your 'flaws', instead of the beautiful creation our Father spent so long carefully crafting. Or maybe you and your boyfriend break up, and you're wondering if there really is a guy out there for you. Or perhaps you and your mom or dad had a fight, and you're wondering...who can I look up to, trust to know my heart, look out for me, and guide me through life?
He loves you...He wants you to know that.
I'm praying for you girls....I want you to know that.
