Why Does God Loves Us the Way He Does?
Today I cried.
I cried because I can't seem to understand why God loves us the way He does. I feel as though I should be more stressed out, more worried, more anxious, but I feel content right now. I feel like I've finally begun to let God lead me; I'm practically alone here and I don't know what to do but trust in God.
I went out to a bar the past few nights and I realized that I don't belong there and I never did. I realized that even when I try to be part of this world, God quietly whispers to me and I remember that He is there. Still, how is it that He loves me regardless of what I've become or what I've done in my past? I feel like God touched my soul today and I don't understand why. I don't know how to thank God and when I try it turns into complete silence because I'm beyond awe.
God is good.
Do you ever get emotional when you realize something about the nature of God?

i remember during the summer i had been feeling like he had pulled away from my life for a while, as he does to everyone, and one night i felt him come back full on. it felt great, and i cried.
i haven't felt him again since then...
i cry too. :) isn't it amazing how He reminds us from time to time of how special we are to Him. maybe we'll see you this weekend.
This morning I went for a walk in the park, as I sat in the park quietly, I heard the birds chirping and saw a yellow butterfly dancing in the air. They were so beautiful.
God is amazing that even tiny creatures like these are so wonderfully made.
I remember some years ago God telling me He was closer to me than ever when I felt He was not. He does allow us to go through these moments where we feel separated from Him, but it is ever so that we become desperate to get closer to Him.
I always get emotional when God reveals a truth to me, although sometimes I just laugh out loud at how obvious it is at the moment when just a second before I didn't have a clue.
I just joined this and you’re the first blog I read. As I read your blog chills came over me. I felt if I was reading my own thoughts. The beauty of your tears is that you know who your Father is. No matter how far we try to run from Him it does not change the fact that we are His. Thank you for sharing. I have been dealing with this same thing recently. I am so glad to know that I am not numb to Him. This is what being a part of a Christian community is about. Authenticity.
Check out Barlow Girls song “Never Alone”
Yes, I do. The other night I was in bed, and I was at my wits' end about sin and struggles I'd been having. Suddenly God hugged me, unmistakably and gently. He felt so close, so accepting, and so forgiving. He came into my torment and put His arms around me without warning. It was one of the most wonderful things I've ever felt. It was like He said, "Now how do you think I feel about you?!" When I tried to thank Him the next morning, I couldn't find adequate words to describe how much I loved His embrace.
@Ash - Awesome song, and very comforting.
I get emotional when I think about how God has protected me from the worst. I have definitely had my share of trials, and because of certatin situations i could have completely gone of the deep end. However God has saved me from the person that I could have become. He's given me hope that I'm worth something more than what this world tells me. This probobly sounds like gibberish since i'm not using specifics, but i guess what I'm trying to say is that I can realate. I'm so grateful for his love.
Welcome to law school. I read your posting concerning law school, so I figure that you are in your first year. My advice, for what it is worth, is to not become content with your faith, but to actively seek God during your time in law school. I am currently a 2L, and my faith has been challenged enormously during law school. Yet, the challenges are not the result of some obvious source, such as a person telling me my faith is mistaken. Instead, the challenges come in the form of resisting invitations to go out drinking and from resisting the urge to put God on the back burner while I prepare for class. Law school is so unique that it is often easy to feel isolated by your situation. I wish you the very best in your studies and in your walk with God. Don't forget that it is most often the journey that defines your destination.
Oh, yes.
