God loves me for me. What a concept? I can't believe I serve a good God who cherishes me in such a way to love me unconditionally. People talk about this concept all of the time, but once you experience it for yourself, there is no turning back.
As I have realized this, I see and feel God pushing me further. There are new endeavors coming my way that ignite in me excitement, but also fear. I have realized that I have been afraid to be myself the past few years, if not all my life. In the last few months God has shown me that I am not to fear man and that He has given me a mouth to speak and life to represent Him.
He has shown me the importance of being fully known by Him. So often as we follow Christ we are burdened by what we must do, but God loves us and wants to know us. As I experience Him, I am burdened to tell of His love.
As I began to realize these things about God and my identity in Him, I realized that I needed to pursue my dreams. Yes, my dreams might be unique and a little off the wall, but they are God given ones that I must run after. This blog is one small step in pursuing the passions He has given me. I know God has given me things to say, but I just need the courage to say them. Lord give me the courage.
