His extravagant love
Did you know that you are so loved? You were chosen and picked before you were even in your mother’s womb. We have a Heavenly Father that ADORES you. He is jealous of you. He wants to spend every second with you. He is so beyond in love with you!! I am using the word extravagant because His love for us is so great. I don’t think there are words in the English language that will represent how great His love for you is. You are FLAWLESS in His eyes. You are beautiful. You are unique and perfectly made.
YOU are flawless. YOU are perfect. YOU are fearlessly loved.
Two and a half months ago, I married the love of my life. April 7, 2018 will forever be the most joyful day for me. When I was in Africa last summer, with my face in the dirt, I asked God what would be next for me. He very sweetly told me that I would be getting married and becoming one with my very best friend. I started praying then that Holy Spirit would fill our wedding and that people wouldn’t see Ash and I, but they would see Jesus Christ!
A word I kept hearing when I would be praying for our wedding was extravagant. I knew that the wedding would be extravagant in the natural, so I began praying for a double portion in the supernatural. I kneeled before our Father, and I laid down our wedding, marriage and ceremony at His feet. I wanted nothing more than for Him to be glorified. I wanted people to experience a glimpse of Heaven. I wanted each and every one of the guests to feel loved and to feel the joy of the Lord! I wanted His extravagant love to fall on each and every one of us.
Today, I feel like the Lord wants you to look in the mirror. He wants you to close your eyes and ask Him how He sees you. He wants to remind you how beautiful you are. He wants to wrap you in His loving arms and tell you how much He loves you. His love is the sweetest aroma. I am ravished by His love today, and His presence is so sweet. I want to forever close my eyes and remind myself how He sees me, which is flawless and without blemish. So, today, I invite you to do the same.
I am leaving you with our wedding video we just received from Elysium Productions, but as you watch it I ask for you to invite Holy Spirit in wherever you are! I ask that you don’t see Ash or myself, but you see the one who created us, God our Father. It is His perfect, extravagant love that overflows and pours out between the two of us!
