[accept,change]

So I have been reading this book. I kinda was not knowing what to expect-it's a bit out there, this guy who is writing. It's taken me forever to actually start reading and find time to take in more than just a page or two at a time. The poor book has been on every road trip and I still had not finished it until just a few days ago. It made me smile, made me think-is that right? It challenged me where I was. This guy is a nut-totally bonkers. But he gets it-he gets the crazy, amazing love of Jesus. As I read the last couple chapters I couldn't believe the words that were jumping off the creamy pages in front of me. He went off on so many rabbit trails, so many ADHD thought patterns-from Bill Clinton, pot smoking hippies to the love of God.


Even though some of his ideas were just something I couldn't wrap my mind around I found myself finding this challenge in the midst of his crazy ideas. Because even if he is a bit off his rocker he still had grasped this part of God that I have yet to touch. I want to. I want to be just a bit off my rocker like this guy-if it means to understand the everlasting, realness of His love.

He was talking about the love of God. Not just for others but for us. Accepting that love for ME. YOU accepting that love. I think we forget about that part. I think we get so busy trying to love that we forget the fact sometimes that WE are loved with that everlasting love. Do we take the time to personally revel in that fact? Do we grasp the fact for real and let it rule in our lives?

Let me leave you with a bit of what he said-

" And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it. i think apart from the idea that I am a sinner and God forgives me, this is the greatest lesson I have ever learned. When you get it, it changes you. My friend Julie from Seattle told me that the main prayer she prays for her husband is that he will be able to receive love. And this is the prayer I pray for all my friends because it is the key to happiness. God's love will never changes us if we don't accept it." D.M
