A Crack in the Door

How I love You, Jesus!

The words above keep resonating in my heart and spirit. It's been a crazy couple of days, but there's been a crack in the door of my heart. Part of my heart was split in two, but where it began to break in response to a deep ache inside, the light of love began to stream through it. And it then began to sing...

How I love You. How I love you, Jesus! Through it all, You remain. Your light shines through the dark crevices of this heart of mine and I find myself overwhelmed, unwrapped, uncovered, and astonished! I don't know where we are going or what you have in store, but I have to stand on the TRUTH that you are good. You are always good. You never fail. You never leave. You take the mess of my heart and restore it. You renew my heart and give me Yours! How I love You, Jesus! How I love you. I don't know how to love, but still--my heart cries out: I love you, Jesus! I love you!

Life is filled with uncertainties and shifts in our lives. Life is filled with wonders and treasures beyond belief, but the most magnificent wonder and treasure is that of Jesus. He takes hold of us and captures us beyond belief and takes us up mountains, around corners, through waters, fires, storms, and places of stillness--all to show us who HE is and to GIVE us life--to BREATHE into our very beings HIMSELF.

This in turn, causes our hearts to say: How I love you, Jesus! How I love you!
