Oh How I Love Jesus!
I have such a desire to please God that it occupies alot of my thinking. I strive to live for Christ and to become more like Him, not in a legalistic way, because I know without a doubt we can't earn salvation and none of us could ever be good enough. However...I am in love with the Lord and I don't know how I made it without Him. I am overwhelmed when I think of how He has forgiven me and I didn't and don't deserve His love.
Isn't that what it means to love, you have a desire to die to yourself and serve the one you love? I love my job, I desire to serve my masters in the flesh, they are good to me, they show me they care, how much more has my Savior shown me His love for me, which makes me want to obey Him, serve Him, to strive daily to be like Him.
The argument is we don't have to do anything, but my argument is...but I want to!!!!
When I read His word I want to hear more, I get consumed by it, I feel when I am reading I am there, I am in awe, I feel His presence, His love for me. Oh How I love Jesus!

Ah. To want to serve Him more, even though it isn't required...now that's when it starts to be fun!
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
I am blessed by your passion for God every time I read your blog.
As we long for Him, He both satisfies our hunger and makes us hungry for more.
This is delightful. Love shines through. I'm especialy touched by your line, "The argument is we don't have to do anything, but my argument is...but I want to!!!!"
Yes, I identify with Garry - love your passion... it encourages me. May God continue to bless you.
Dana, thank you again for a meaningful post. I appreciate your heart in this. "I want to" also. I have been overwhelmed these last few days. Thank you for pointing to our Lord.
I love this and love your passion for Jesus - you are an inspiration!
Just checking in to see how you're doing. I love your posts. They are truly inspirational and you are a gift from God.
I just began piano lessons this month after a 24 year break. The second song I learned to play is "Oh how I love Jesus."
That sums it up perfectly! I love Him too!!!!
