Matchless Love

Recently, I have discovered a call to go to Africa. It is a trip that is going to be very challenging for me because it is one of the few things out of my comfort zone. For the first time in a while I can say that I am truly terrified about going..
As contrary as this may sound, I am quite terrified but have never had so much peace about a decision in my life. I have recently also began to develop such a burden for AIDS orphans.
It makes me think of the song, Orphans Of God. Which then humbles me to think that in my desolate pit of sin, He is by my side. Without Christ I am this person I do not want to be, I am controlling, manipulative, and just negative. Christ is by my side even then.
When I got back this summer, I truly felt abandoned by God, like He had left me out to dry. I had this mountain top experience as I had so many times before, but this was different. I was different, changed for the better. Then Satan hit and tried to tell me nothing had changed, but everything had. I believed his lies.
I think as we mature as Christians we re-learn lessons, the become more relevant and powerful to us.
My re-learned lesson is my need for Christ.
He is truly all we need.
He is all I want, more than tomorrow or yesterday. I need Him.

I have been bought with a price, one of great measure. It makes me think of the women who are sold into slavery, freedom is something they can only dream of. We have been given that and more.
His love is matchless. Truly matchless. Rejoice in this.
