In Love With Jesus!

Ok, so I have tried to blog but I have had problems with my computer. I think I have fixed the problem. So here is what I have wanted to blog about.

This past Sunday in conversation with someone about ministry there was a statement that was made that really made me think about my love for Jesus. Here is the conversation as best I can remember it; "There is a street ministry that is getting ready to start, let me know what I can do, you are dedicated, I wouldnt say that, well you are in love with Jesus right?" Ok so I left out some of what was said but hopefully you get the idea of where I am going with this. So Monday I didn't do anything but think about this statement. Am I in love with Jesus? Do I love him the way he loves me? Jesus is so in love with me that he gave his life for me.( What an example of true love) So my thoughts were how can I love him the way he loves me, I dont think I can other than surrender everything I have and am to Jesus. Even the little things. The past two days I have been reading about being lukewarm and some of the characteristics that describe this kind of person. This made me really think about the love I have for Jesus. I felt ashamed but yet revived to know that I serve a God who loves me and shows me mercy, grace, peace, forgiveness and love which he is not limited to just these. Every day is a new day and I am so blessed to serve a God who is alive and living today. I want to fall in love with Jesus every day with a sincere surrendered heart.

If you want to read a book that will make you think about your relationship with God then check out this link. http://crazylovebook.com/ or go to Francis Chan and listen to some of his blogs. He has challenged me in ways I cant explain completely.
