I wanna get back to less of me.

Tonight I went for a drive out in the boonies. It actually was timed perfectly with the sun setting, so that was pretty rad. 


While driving basically into the sunset, God kind of hit me up with something really cool. And awesomely, there's a verse that expresses exactly what God showed me. Hur yeh go.


I love loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you in with loving-kindness. ~Jeremiah 31:3


Have you ever just stopped everything you're doing and observe life; like.. observe the sounds, the smells, the colors, and just think, wow? Tonight was one of the many times I have. It's insane how there are so many incredible things in this world. So many joys, pleasures, beauties... and the bible says that all creation worships God because they were made to display His glory. Us humans are included in "creation" as well, yet we have been given a free will to decided to worship God with our beings or not. In another words, it's a gift, not a requirement. Which makes worshiping God amazingly rich.  
I'm failing at getting my main point across, so I'll just blurt it out. In written form, o' course. 


People were made to glorify God, to worship God--just as every other 'thing' on earth. Yet, for some odd reason, we are the only creatures whom God specifically pursues. God pursues us with His love. He draws us in with kindness covered in His everlasting love. He doesn't just say, "Worship me. I made you." He says, "I made you. And I want you."


Yeah. I don't understand God's ways. But even if they don't make sense, I hunger for them. I am desperate for Him. I need to be pursued by Him. If not, I couldn't experience true freedom in Him and in His acceptance of me, even in my filth and sin. 


That's about all I got for tonight.
