I Can Love With God's Love

Journal entry @ New Life Northwest, August/11/2011

"Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbors as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

~Matthew 22:37-40

When we love God with everything we have, we declare that we have NO other gods or idols in our life. God alone is worthy of our worship, admiration and affection. EVERYTHING and everyone else pales in comparison to this great and loving God. This total Heart, soul and mind devotion to God encapsulates our desire to obey all of his commands. And because this loving God loves me, i overflow with love and generosity toward others. No longer do i need control through lies or lust to provide for myself. i do not spend my days wishing for that which others have. i am satisfied. i can love with God's love.

When God is in the center of my life i can rest. and loving others as we have been loved includes declaring praises for all that God has done, through Christ, on our behalf.

It was incredible seeing God move at camp. I'm in complete awe of how amazing He truly is. I'm lost for words. I loved how I was there at camp, and I could feel my heart changing. And even now, I know God is moving in my life. Sometimes I begin to doubt he's really here, then he shows up and blows me away and leaves me speechless, like tonight. I don't know if this is making any since, I just know I Love God SO stinking much.

Love,

So would u like to be my flower?

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance" 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

If friends were a flower, I'd pick u. And only you. I'd probably put u in my crazy brown hair, and take pictures with u. If u fell out I'd pick u back up, blow the dirt off u, and place u back in my hair. I'd show u off, and smell u... Flowers always smell good.

I love you. Words can't describe. Ur my amazing best friend

So would u like to be my flower?

Love,

Kimmyann <3

You are my forever love
You are my forever love

From the bottom of my heart I'll sing to You
From the depths of who I am I love You
With everything inside I'll run to You
Cause all that I've become I owe to You

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love

Nothing in this world could ever separate us
I will love You more than anyone on earth
Nothing I desire could ever satisfy me the way that You do

From the bottom of my heart I'll sing to You
From the depths of who I am I love You
With everything inside I'll run to You
Cause all that I've become I owe to You

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love

love+my best friend

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.
No I can't say I am in love, because I am so young. But I have a small taste of what it is, and I can't wait to taste more
love,

Way Back When....

Do you remember when you were this small? most teenagers say that life was so much simpler when we were little children. i would have to agree, when i am feeling selfish and ungrateful. i only think about the disadventages of growing up, getting more responsibilities, dealing with emotional and physical changes. think about how you can now get on that awesome scary ride at the amusement park that you were too small to get on it years earlier. or how you get to drive your parents car when way back when you could barly even see over the steering wheel, and you thought you would NEVER get to drive!
God blesses us with more than just size as we grow older. We become more mature, we learn to love, and we open our eyes more and see Gods grace all around us. when i realize all i have now that i am older, i am very grateful. :D
love,
