reminder

it is His love that motivates me to pursue Him
it is His faithfulness that compels me to run hard after Him.
it is His delight that causes me to stand
it is His commitment that is the strength of my life

and yet it's so easy to forget. it's so easy to forget His character, His love, His affections for me. i forget that He is thinking about me all the time. and i forget He delights in me. like really LORD? you delight in me, even now?
and when i forget, i easily lose all motivation to continue to pursue Him.

so today He was kind to remind me,
"eric, I chose your love above all the splendors of the world.
son, you truly are the joy set before me. I gave it all to have you, and now, now you are mine."

so i say YES. i say YES to you, Jesus.
