Grace for the road 
It’s too big.
Some days I actually feel like my heart might explode.
He LOVES us.
LOVES. us.
It’s like I can’t sing loud enough, stick my hands in the air high enough, say it well enough. It makes me slam my palms into the ceiling of the car. It makes me nearly crush that teeny tiny communion cup in my hand. It makes my voice crack like a 12-year-old boy.
I want to dance in the street like King David. I want to grab the people in the mountains trapped in idolatry by both shoulders and tell them how loved they are.
Please, stop. Just stop. Stop what you’re doing – it’s worthless, worthless rags – and love Him back.
I want to shake myself – upset over a frozen computer or a traffic jam, or wasting hours in bed when Jesus is asking me to watch and pray – and say stop what you’re doing – it’s worthless, worthless rags – and love Him back.
He loves us. It’s too big. We can never risk too much, go too far, give away too much of ourselves.
My heart will sing no other name.
Jesus.

The God of the whole universe loves ME??? Sometimes I wonder how that’s even possible! Why would he come and die for me? Even more than that He loves all of us with an unending perfect love. WOW. Mind blown. Why wouldn’t we love Him back and why wouldn’t we want to share this with everybody we come across?
Love it! An idea: Have a continuation to this post and share how you have that deep zeal for our Lord!
My favorite post ever ever ever. I look back on it often.
oh my heavens. found your blog this morning via a couple friends who reposted your snippet on not waiting anymore – girl, you are fantastic. what an encouragement you are!! so glad to have found your blog. will be back!! :)
there’s a really cool song in here somewhere….
Such exuberant joy. Yet another post of yours which makes me want to point at the screen and go ‘That! That’s what I mean/how I feel.’ Only expressed much better than I can manage. Keep it up
I had a friend send me a private message on facebook linking me to your blog and telling me that you and I have so much in common………..she was right!! Encouraging to know that God is doing the same thing in others that He is doing in your own heart!!! ~ Arlene
Passionately loving my God Who passionately loved me first!!
The great love of our Lord and Savior…. our minds cannot be to fathom it. Thanks for a great, encouraging reminder!
Glory!!!

Loved this!
Fantastic!
Thank you.
Can I ask where the picture was taken? I’m intrigued by the building in the background.

It’s in England … Cornwall … at Tintagel Castle. I think that building was a church in a neighboring village.
This is so beautiful and beautifully written.
“We can never risk too much, go too far, give away too much of ourselves.”
Wow, what an amazing love
Thank you Grace and thank you Jesus. I so needed this today.
Just the message I needed this morning. Oh how He loves me even when I don’t love myself!
That reminds me of one of Clare’s favourite songs – “How He Loves Us”
Thank you Grace
Monica
I think of her every time I hear that song. :) Thanks, Monica. Miss y’all.
Stopping right now to give back LOVE. Thank you for the powerful reminder.
Wow. I can’t explain how much I needed to be reminded of this life-consuming, beautiful truth. Thank you!
Please, I want more :(
Ohhh dear one, yes, yes! Thank you. I needed to hear this. I want to sing this song that you’re singing! “[His] love is extravagant.”
