give it all away.

Here's my question.

Why do we give our hearts away so easily. Seems like there's a new obsession on every corner. Weither thats a guy or clothes or working out..it sure seems to be true. I don't know about you, but I want to be in love with Jesus.

No matter how Godly or Truthworthy the guy or girl in your life may seem, they are still people. And people let you down. True love is an acceptance of all that is, was, and will be or will not be.

Lets just give our hearts to Jesus. For real.

relationship.

I was raised in a home where performance was everything.
Unconditional love may have existed, but I never saw it.
Failure was met with severe consequences. Dad was my authority; that was all there was to it.
I'm not one to blame my lack of faith on circumstances, but our umbringings definitely create challenges for us.
Some of you have wounds so deep that you wonder if you'll ever be able to trust.
Perhaps you've subconsciously taken the failures from sinful human relationships and imposed those shortcomings onto a perfect God.
Now uncertainty creeps into even your relationship with God.

It is the Holy Spirit who keeps us from this path and gives us confidence so we can enjoy intimacy with our Creator.
Though I do not belive God gives us His holy Spirit solely for our personal benefit, it is undeniable that one of the greatest aspects of being in a relationship with the Holy Spirit is the intimacy, security, and encouragement He brings us.
It is then we can serve God as a beloved child..rather than a stress-out, gult ridden slave.
