~Love is patient, love is kind. I does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. I always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 4-8.
We have all heard this verse, do we really try to carry it out? Jesus said "love your enemy's" so that means that we are to be all these things to them, witch I'm sure not everyone is. Nobody is 24-7. I cant even be this way with my family all the time.
Think how it would be if we could love like this, if we could just forget things that have been done to us by others, not be rude, not be self-seeking. Wouldn't that be awesome? I think it would be. The thing is we are supposed to change the world that way. Think if each one of us where like this with just one person, and they with just one. We could shake this world! We could set it on fire with love. And no I don't mean like the hippie's did. But like Jesus taught us to.
Love can not fall in and out like the movies say. "Oh our love just is not there anymore". Love is a choice, yes there is a such thing as attraction but it does not become love until you make that choice to love no matter what, when your angry at each other, when some one is sick, when they let you down. We as people are going to let each other down, we are human for goodness sake, but the true love comes out when that happens, when we love some one even though they let us down, we are really loving, God loves us even when we sin.
Isn't that amazing? I can never ever love like that. Love. Lets try to love like this in the coming week. I know I'm going to try.
Well I hope this can challenge you to love as He loved.

Because of you
Because of you, I live. Because of you, I breath. Because of you, I hope. Because of you, I have purpose. Because of you, I died to me. Because of you, I face each day. Because of you, I can go through the pain. Because of you, I will remain pure. Because of you, I can say death has no grip. Because of you, I sing. Because of you, I will fight. Because of you, I will stand. Because of you, I will win. Because of you, I have been washed clean. Because of you, I have been reborn. Because of you, I will shout to all that Jesus saves! Because of you. ~Out Of His Great Love~ Rachel

Create in me a clean heart
Lord give me your eyes. Give me your ears. Give me your heart. Let me be your hands and your feet here on earth. Break my heart for what breaks yours. Take me to the places no one will go, to help the unhelpable. To touch the untouchable. I want to be more than this world. This love is crazy, I must be out of my mind, and if I am I don't want to get back in. For this is life, that we live it for the glory of Him who created life, who lived life only to have it taken from Him, but not only taken, but beaten and torn away. And so I live. For His glory, for honor, and because of His love. To live is to die to ones flesh. I have died and therefore I live

Proverbs 31:30
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
This is one of not only my favorite verses but chapters in the bible. The reason being that it kindles my fire to be a set apart young woman.In the world it is popular these days to be an independent woman, to prove to men that we are better than them, that we don't need them. But hey guess what.... We need them!!! Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's the truth. When I look at today's "Young women" it makes me sad, because all they want is to leave there parents, to be there "own person" and not to "settle" for marriage because it would mean that they would have to settle down and be wives. And there are those who when they get married they feel like they should be the boss and not let there husbands be in charge of them, and they warn them before marriage "You wont be bossing me around" "Don't think I'll be doing all the house work you will do your far share". But the bible says,"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to there husbands in everything". I don't know about you but I think that's pretty clear. But it also goes on to say, " Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself to her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church- for we are members of the body. That's pretty cool! As Christ loved the church? He died for the church, a man is called to love his wife so much he would give his life for her. So the way I see it we don't loose out at all, come on! So anyway that's my Sunday ramblings I hope you could make sense of it. I just wanted to say that it's okay if we are the weaker gender. Even before we are married.
Well that's all for now.

That's what time it was when God gave me this. So I am now going to share it with you.
Never Enough,
How could I ever have enough time, enough of You? Never, there is never enough time, the right amount. Never that feeling, ahhhh no more, I am full. And if there is I have not found it, I could not even fathom that of "enough". For every moment leaves me with a yearning for more. Satisfaction will not come to my lips. For when I am with Him my world stops. No time floats by. How could it for He is time, water, sky, life. And without Him I would be no more. Though my flesh would live, breath, walk and run. I would be dead. For I live for Him, by Him, and because of His love and mercy. So you see no amount of time could ever satisfy me. For it will never be enough.
So that's what I wrote at 2:30 am
