I Love Him!

I was just thinking about my love for God.  The other day I was having a conversation with a friend and we began to talk about Jesus.  We shared the usual, we loved God, how good He is to us, how vast and wonderful His creation is and just "the I love God, He loves me" stuff.  I never really questioned His love for me, but my love for Him, how did I know I really loved Him?  I remember recently talking to a young girl about what Jesus means to me.  The intimate times I had in deep discussions with God.  I would pour out my heart to Him and I knew He heard me.  Praying, praising, weeping, expressing worry and anxiety, sharing my inner most thoughts and frustrations, asking for healing, thanking Him for many things, worshipping, questioning, and the list goes on.  It was not until I shared with this young girl my relationship I have with God, that I began to realize the deep rooted relationship I have built with Him or maybe I should say He has built with me.  God has invested so much in me and  I could not live without Him.  He is my all in all.  I am a woman who is living in God's graces and does not deserve that, but is enjoying his companionship.  Wow!  So amazing!
