Captivating..

so i am reading this amazing//awesome//wonderful book that my friend emily is letting me read. its so good. i just have to share some of it with you all! if anyone hasn't read it ((mom, carol, tanya)) i recommend that you do! it's awesome ((as i have mentioned)). okay, so anywho, the name of the book is captivating and it's by john and stasi eldredge. :] okay, so as i was reading last night i came across something :: This is actually a quote john mentions from his book wild at heart so, some of you might recognize it. but this is how it goes :: "after years of hearing the heart-cry of women, i am convinced beyond a doubt of this: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. how could we have missed this? from cover to cover, beginning to end, the cry of God's heart is, "why won't you choose me?" it is amazing to me how humble, how vulnerable God is on this point. "you will find me," says that Lord, "when you seek me with all your heart". in other words, look for me, pursue me - i want you to pursue me. God waits to be wanted. "

what? God wants to be wanted? something so simple that i always knew ((God always does this)). this is what i know now :: God is beautiful, and since i am created in the image of God i am also beautiful. :] God longs to be loved, just like me. i guess i just never thought of God as longing to be loved. God feels the same things i do? what? thats odd. but amazingly awesome at the same time. one major point that stasi kept making was that Woman ((eve)) was created in the image of God, just like adam was. God just contines to blow my mind each and every day. phew...
