Something that I feel the Lord has been teaching me is the lesson of submission, surrender, and trust.

And when it comes down to it, it ALL comes down to truly COMPREHENDING the LOVE of Christ. :)

What I've been trying lately is to REALLy grasp God's love. Understand it, MEDITATE upon it, ACT upon it. Of course, it's taking a LONG time for me to do this.... I guess I just find it so unbelievable.. it's almost like it's TOO GOOD to be TRUE, and that is why I've been questioning it so often! :(

The good news is, no matter HOW MANY TIMES i question && doubt in His love for me, it's ALWAYS PRESENT. God's love for us NEVER FAILS, NEVER ENDS. and NOTHING can EVER separate us from the love of God. NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! =D

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? .... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height or depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:35-39

Haha, what an incredible reminder (: That when all else fails, His love will always remain; it doesn't matter if WE doubt, it doesn't matter if WE sin, it doesn't matter if WE believe...
because when it comes down to it,

it was GOD who loved US FIRST. :D (1 John 4:19)

"We love because he first loved us."

It reminds me of the song, "From the Inside Out" by Hillsongs United.

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Chorus 2x
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

God is soooo good (: <3

Lord, let my hunger && thirst for You DEEPEN everyday. Give me the courage to say,
"God, I LET GO.. I SURRENDER to your will."

Amen.
