Worship Explosion

Sometimes I think too hard about being created in God's image.
Especially when it comes to relationships.
Sometimes I wonder if when he's talking to us he's like, "You know what i love most? When you tell me how much you love me.
When you express it in such a way I feel important."
And then I'm like, "Wow, you mean the world to me. I wouldn't trade you for a thousand cute puppies." And then he's like, " You, my dear, are so beautiful and precious to me. You are adored and are so special to the world."
And then i was like, and then he was like, and then i was like...

What if there was something more?
Is this what love is?
Is this what life is about?

But what if there was something more...

What if God was like, "Hey beautiful one. What if we stood shoulder to shoulder? What if we embraced each others strengths, embellished the weaknesses, and spread love like violence?"
"What if we sought out peace with one mind and pressed on toward this hope, this hope that is only found in true, genuine love, the love we will spread to the world together."
"What if every time we saw each other, another person is blessed?"
"What if every time we held hands, that tingly feeling, you know the one, deep down in your stomach that feels like a million, butterflies had babies and are fluttering around like crazy, we transfer that moment to the one's overlooked, to the one's you blow off or are suffering."

Then I spend hours thinking, God has a good point.
Sometimes I get too caught up in this feeling that I don't even understand why I love you (God). I'm blinded by your beauty and grace that I forget there is more than face to face worship. This romance we have, its not solely for us. Romance is more than loving each other forever. It's walking alongside each other and sharing this intimate love we have to those God loves most. Loving each other goes beyond infatuation. IN relationships with a significant other, when we embrace each others differences and love each other through storms, it is a form of worship. When we show others that we have this love we want to share in a way that may end up showing someone love is real, that is worship.

God, this is the relationship I want.

Can you imagine having a love like that?

I just want to confess I have this loss of hope and unbalance in my life at times. Why the hell do I think im so unlovable? It hinders me from trusting others and keeps me from giving the love I know I need to give. I just pray for peace and I pray this becomes the purpose of my life to love you and let that love you show me overflow to the people that you love most. help me love like you love. When the time comes for me to share this shoulder to shoulder love with someone let us spread this love we have for each other like it was a wildfire and this hope we find in this relationship like it can cure a disease.

Shalom.
