My Passion

For those of you joining us today from the Proverbs 31 devotion today, welcome!

Jesus. Some days just thinking of how perfectly this Man loves me completely blows me away! I just don’t grow tired of rehearsing in my mind and heart that the Creator of this incredible earth is in love with me! Simple ‘ole me! Nothing extraordinary. Nothing that those of this world would think is amazing, yet Psalm 45:11 says “The King is wild for you….” The Message. He says that He is mine and I am His. (Song of Solomon 2:16a) He says that He rejoices over me with singing (Zephaniah 3:17) He says that I am altogether beautiful and He sees no blemish in me. (Song 4:7) To know that Perfection loves Imperfect completely stuns me!

Does any of this have anything to do with me? Obsolutely not! I once thought it did. I once was messed up in the head and heart and thought that what I did influenced how He saw me. But now I know, His unconditional love is just one more thing that makes Him beautiful to me.

Do you know, in the deepest part of your heart, that He feels that exact same way about you? Do you know that when you mess up, He looks down with compassion and not anger? Do you know that His heart for you is that you would be filled to the fullness measure of His perfect love so that you never, ever need to feel alone, rejected or discarded again? The King over all is in love with you; that, my friend, is truly life changing.

With news like this, who can keep quiet? Galatians 6:14 says, “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (NLT) Oh, that is my heart! To boast, brag, go on and on and on about Him.

We glorify what we are passionate about, says John Piper. Friend, what are you glorifying? Does the thing that has your heart deserve that much attention? Is He your passion or do you struggle with other things that clamor for your heart and your affection? He truly is the only thing that deserves your all.

I’d love to have you brag a bit about Him here! Just click on “comments” below and share just why He is worth bragging about to you!

  1. Lynn, your first paragraph says it all. I am overwhelmed by my Jesus. I cannot fully comprehend His love. It is indescribeable, unfathomable.He has been faithful to me for many, many years. He took this prodigal daughter back with open arms. I love Him! LOVE HIM!

  2. Lynn,

    Thank you for your devotional this morning. It touched me deeply.

    As my family nears the one-year anniversary of losing our 13-year old son to cancer last November 29th, I feel the Presence of God in so many mighty ways.

    I know that only because of the scars that Jesus bears am I able to face each day with a hope that strengthens and encourages me to press on towards the prize of the upward calling!!!!!

    He is my everything!

    Thanks for sharing His love with me. Won't Heaven be amazing!?!?!?

  3. He is so faithful. He never leaves you and I am grateful.
    The Lord is so good!

  4. Such a thought to ponder… I have failed Him so many times, Yet He is faithful. I have fallen short in many ways…yet He is faithful. He gave His all, yet at times I can't even find the time to give Him, yet He is faithful. He is Faithful!

    God Bless

  5. God knows what we need when we need it…thank you so much for today's message. This is my first time on your site and this is what I read…why…because God knew what I needed. He loves me…HE loves me…He truly loves me…Ive felt rejected by others, its not a good feeling but the one who matters most told me that "He'd never leave me nor forsake me" and that "greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world"…and because of that I can hold my head high and walk in the confidence, peace, and joy of knowing who I am and whose I am…thank you again…may God continue to bless you!!!
