So I have begun to ask God to help me curtail this love language...To my delight He has not yet done so. Don't worry Robert I am listening to you...with one ear maybe but still listening...But what God did remind me of is that one of His love languages is gift giving as well. I was like...WELL YEAH!
He reminded me that because He loves me so much He wants to lavish his great and endless blessings on me. He is pursuing me so that He can bless me so that I can bring Him glory.
Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall pursue me all the days of my life.”
Obviously He is not all that interested in giving me the latest greatest pair of shoes...although a cute pair of shoes can sure feel like a blessing! I'm just sayin... but God has no limit to His blessings. As excited as I am about blessing the boys I do have limits. Checking account, husband, reality... God's blessings are endless, limitless, tireless, boundless, infinite, creative, surprising... I just imagine Him all excited and thinking of all the ways He wants to bless me. I mean if I am doing that He can do it better than me! Isn't that so fun? I can picture him leaning over to Jesus and saying..."Watch this. She's gonna love this."... "Oh just wait till she sees this"... "Let's paint her this sunset...she will never believe it!"... "Let's blow her mind and send her to Zambia..."
It's so excessive it's crazy...I want those blessings!! Just as the boys are excited about the blessings. I am too excited about what God has in store for me and so so grateful for all that he has already blessed me with.
He pursues me...He loves me...perfect, pure, endless, faithful, pursuit so that He can Bless...Who wouldn't want to serve our God? Let's tell the whole world about Him!
Romans 8:32, He
who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he
not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Today is my miracle day... because He reminds me of His love language...and He is not done with me yet!
