you are INCREDIBLE

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. (Jeremiah 31:3 NIV)

the lord told them that he loved them unconditionally and eternally--that his compassion for them was beyond measure and that they were his and he was theirs.

you, father God, are INCREDIBLE. there's a lot of comfort in knowing that. sometimes I just need a really great hug. and to be honest, I do get great hugs on occasion. but it's about more than that. it's about realizing that despite my broken terribleness that you love me. it blows my mind.

before last week I totally didnt realize the degree to which I sucked as a person. like I suck A TON. I'm so incredibly bad to the core. but you are there for me and with you, I can use your strength to overwrite that core self. that body dies and I claim my new one--with the likeness and reflection of your light. 

in light of your love, I have an obligation to share and reciprocate appropriately. so I'm going to communion tomorrow morning at church even though id love to sleep in. and I'm going to love mom wholeheartedly and make her a legitimately nice card. go squad!
