Love Does'nt Make Sense

To fall in love with someone is easy, in a sense. To tell them how you feel is difficult. To get over those feelings is the hardest thing imaginable.

I'm currently in the second stage; I'm trying to tell someone how I feel about her. I've struggled with this for as long as I can remember. I can recall all of the girls I've had a crush on from late elementary school through college. I never told a girl that I liked her until just after high school. I didn't know how and I was too afraid of rejection. I mean, that's logical, right? No one wants to have their heart broken.

Well, I did get my heart broken and it was the worst thing I'd ever felt. It's happened twice since and rejections haven't gotten any easier to take. But it's a part of life.

I'm not one to post on social media or gab about my love life. That's just not me. But, I'm about to. Now it might not be what you're expecting, but it's something I can't keep inside me. It's the greatest love story of all time.

God saw what a mess the world had become since man had sinned, but He had a plan. He sent is only Son to save all of mankind. Jesus Christ humbled Himself to become a man and a servant to all. He lived a perfect life and did no wrong in thought, word, or deed. Yet, he was brutally killed on a cross. The saddest part of the story is that the nails were not what held Him on that cross. No. My sins held him to that cross. MY SINS. Your sins. The sins of every man, woman, boy, and girl to ever live on this earth. Jesus willingly gave up His perfect record and His life to take my punishment. He loved me so much that He lived the life I could never live and died the death that I so fully deserve, so that I could be with Him for all eternity. He still wants me even after everything I've done, even after I put Him on the cross. No one will ever love me, could ever love me as Jesus loves me. Almighty God, the creator of the entire universe, the Holy one, wrote the greatest love story, and He included me.

Oh, but that's not the end. Jesus didn't just die, no! God raised him from the dead three days later. God robbed the grave, forever taking away death's sting. Jesus is alive and some sweet day I'll get to see Him face to face. Oh, how I long to hug my savior and thank Him for loving me so! I will never get over the love that God has for me, nor do I want to.

With His love for you, how can you not shout it from the mountain tops!? From the valleys low!? From the midst of the fiercest storms!? And from your best days!? Jesus loves you!!! You'll never find a greater love!

I hope you never forget that.
Happy Easter Everyone!
Christ is risen!!!
