a bit of encouragement

God was kind of encouraging me today. it's kinda weird, because i really dont battle with this, ever. but He was saying this stuff to me anyway and i think it might be so that i could encourage you :)

to all you rad Jesus lovers out there, He's got someone on this earth for you. it's true. He's picked him/her out just for you.
girls: he exists. He loves God sooo much, more than you. :) that's exciting, isn't it? a guy that loves God more than anything or anyone else. he's chasing after some giants, David-style. a man that truly lives out what he says he believes. he loves Jesus, just like you do. who's called to the same thing as you, who won't hold you back from your pursuit of God but will only encourage you in it. it's an absolutely beautiful, glorious, wonderful thought, i know. it excites me. i can't describe him perfectly to you 'cause i have no idea who he is for myself, much less you. haha, but he's there. i promise, because God promised.
guys: she's out there. she's so taken with Jesus, she's so fascinated. you might even know her now, [maybe not, i dont know] but she's SO taken with Jesus that neither of you know. haha. seriously, if you're a teenager, don't chase after her. let her find herself in Jesus. let her heart dream with Him. let her have her adventures with Him, because He is her first and eternal love.
and really, to both parties, you're not the only one on earth who loves Jesus the way you do. We are not alone in this. for me personally, i have sooo many brothers and sisters, from far and near, that love Jesus so much exactly the way i do. Encouraging them is one of my favorite things to do, because i love them and i want to watch them love God more and more. it's so exciting. i love people, but i especially love people that love Jesus the way i do. i love getting around those people and like last night when i said "we need to have a worship-night.." everyone got so excited. ahhh it's just so beautiful! we were talking about all the movies we wanted to watch together, and we were excited. but when those words left my mouth the excitement level sky-rocketed. i love it so much. i love crazy people who love Jesus to the extreme.
haha, it's so hard to believe sometimes that "THEY EXIST!" the first guy i met that realllllly loves Jesus like i do i was so fascinated. talking to him was so refreshing. he was saying things that i felt in my heart but couldnt put into words. he'd tell me about what he was doing or what he had done and he was really living out his love for Jesus; such a rare quality in people today. it made me so happy. it encouraged me. i had a "wow, God, guys that love You..they exist!" moment. haha, meeting that awesome man of God was God encouraging me. it's one thing to know it in your head, it's another to know it and see it. i love him a lot, he's the coolest brother i have.

when our hearts dream with His, when our thoughts are His, when our center is Him, everything else comes into place.

and when we all experience His love, we are able to love. Glory follows order. the order is Jesus first, everything else after.
so as an ending encouragement, go after God with all your heart. remember that He's alive. so when you get up and you don't feel like reading your Bible or talking to Him, He's alive. He's real. and like someone who loves you, He wants to spend time with you and see you. just a lot more than people. :) and He sees you and counts the seconds you have with Him. He doesn't forget one moment. He remembers every tiny step of obedience you take. and you WILL be rewarded for every little thing. He sees every movement of your heart towards Him, and He loves it so much. He rewards the seekers, they will find. if you knock on the door it will be opened to you. want God to speak to you? open your Bible. pray. you have to step into covenant with Him, but once that step is taken on your part, He will do His end of it too.
i love you, Jesus-lover, very very much. i love you because you love Him, because i love Him.
