Love is in the air!!
Need I say more??

It's summer, nearly Christmas and New Years. Around this time each year I am the most thankful that I have a relationship with God and know how much He loves His people, His children.

His desire is to bless us and fill us with joy.

Each year my love for God grows stronger, and with it my trust in Him grows. Or is it the other way around?

A lot of growing in faith and relationship with God is in taking risks and stepping out into the unknown. This takes a lot of trust. And I believe that everytime I choose to step out of my comfort zone in doing things out of obedience to God I am taking one step closer to understanding Gods heart. And am also growing in my capacity to love Him and others.
So really, the more I put my trust in God the more I fall in love with Him.

This makes sense to me now because it is so hard to fathom how much God loves us (or more like HOW He could love us regardless of our incompetency to understand Him!). And yet at the same time the way to His heart is so simple once we realise the fact that God JUST loves us and wants the best for us and can do ANYTHING, so it's always come down to OUR CHOICE in whether to believe this and just trust Him.

I loved Pastor John's message on Sunday morning on trusting in God. It was a word in season for everyone I'm sure. Trust God in ALL things.

Amongst the blossoming of all these beautiful relationships around me there is a part of me that longs for that 'significant other', but at the same time I'm constantly being reminded of how awesome it is to be loved by God and to know my Creator.

We don't have to DO more to make Him love us more.
But God is ALWAYS 'wooing' us, trying to win US over to love HIM more.
