I love you
I don’t ever want you to love someone else, but if falling for someone else is what will bring you back to me, then so be it.
Great question! It means a lot that you’d ask me :D
You can say “I love you” to anyone that you care about. Your family, your friends. “I love you” is just putting your [strong] care and adoration for someone into words. And with it comes the idea that you’ll always be there for them, and that you always want the best for them.
But when you say that you are in love with someone, when you tell someone “I am in love with you,” there is so much more to it. (At least in my opinion and understanding of the phrase.)
When you say that you are in love with someone, you are saying that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. When you say “I’m in love with you,” you are implying that your feelings for that particular person is kind of higher and more elevated among all the people whom you love.
It’s like saying “I am in deep adoration of you,” or “I am willing to do absolutely anything to make you happy, but my biggest hope is that we can be the source for each other’s happiness.”
So maybe this comes from a romantic’s point of view…but this is how I honestly view it! Hope that helps!
“The currents will pull you away from your love
Just keep your head above.”
I swim for better days despite the absence of sun.
All I want to do is worship God.
How He Loves || Jesus Culture
This literally is so beautiful. And sometimes it makes me want to cry…especially starting at 6:30. But you need to watch the whole thing for the whole effect (;
I woke up with the desire in my heart to just worship. Worship and listen to God and His word. It started with a dream I had last night when we were at some non-existent empty part of Disneyland. I was sitting with some friends who were doing there own thing when I started singing “How He Loves,” without any intention or idea of having anyone sing along with me. But then these two girls came and sat with me and we started to sing in PERFECT harmony and it sounded so angelic. SO angelic that crowds of people ran over to listen to us and sing along!
Then I think I heard God say to me, “You see my child, when you sing and worship without the intention of having anyone sing along, then everyone will join in with you.”
Amazing.
So as I was listening to a ton of Jesus Culture music, I started to think about how much I want all my friends and family to truly ENCOUNTER God as I have encountered Him. So that they can EXPERIENCE what it TRULY FEELS LIKE TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. Just thinking about it excites me beyond words. I want everyone I encounter to encounter the heaviness and weightiness of God. I want all my tumblr followers to feel that. I wish everyone in the world could feel that! It is indescribable.
In the midst of my thoughts and fervent desire for all of this, I felt God tell me to stop trying to rush when people encounter Him.
It reminded me how easily it is for us to want so desperately for everyone to encounter Jesus NOW. We have the RIGHT NOW, HURRY, YOU’RE MISSING OUT mentality.
But GOD can do things 100000000 times better than we can.
He KNOWS when the heart of His child is ready to be encountered by the love of God.
He KNOWS the situation they will be in that will completely open their hearts to feeling His presence.
Who are we to force that on people?
All we are meant to do is DISPLAY the love of God.
We are meant to love people the way that JESUS did because THAT is the only real way to bring people to know or even slightly understand who God is.
Too many of us get waaaay too caught up in, “I want you to know exactly what I have found in Jesus! It’s so crazy you need it NOOOOOW!”
We need to understand that not everyone is ready for that.
All we should be doing is reflecting how God has changed us. That is what will catch people’s attention. Not our words.
Terrified
This song is just
LOL RELEVANT.
If you want to start your day off right…
If you want to be overwhelmed by the peace of God as you do your homework or work or whatever,
Listen to this.
:) It’s beautiful. It’s God working through music.
