I'm pretty wrapped up in Jesus today, to the point of smiling like a fool when I am reminded of Him and His presence, which is like every single second so yeah, my face hurts, it's worth it though.
I've been around a lot of people who've had some pretty bad experiences in love and my heart breaks for people like that. I can't imagine what it must be like to have the one you love reject you or treat you badly, or having something that seemed so good go so wrong, it must be such a heartbreak so I pray for the brokenhearted everyday because it's not easy and those kinda things tend to stay with you for a long time.
I love that Jesus found me when He did, I was really headed a bad way when I met Him. I was on the brink of depression and making bad decisions nearly every second. I was just so lost and I just needed love. I guess that's what every human being needs - the love of the Saviour.
I'm very fortunate to be a children's pastor at church and I love my kids at church but they are a HUGE drain on my energy haha and they keep me on my feet, which really shifts the pounds you see but they've taught me so much, about how different people are, about how every child needs to be loved, the fact that there are no "bad kids", they're all just different and they all need the same thing - to be loved.
So, on this beautiful day, I am very thankful for Jesus. Because honestly speaking, the love He's shown me, well, there is no greater love...
