My good friend Adam gave me a CD for Christmas. These simple yet profound words have shown me once again the depth of God's love for me, and have therefore awakened a deeper love for God.
"…Far to long we have listened to the laughter and lies of those voices that have said our dreams are dead. The Son of God Stands at the door of our hearts. He is calling out our names like he called Lazarus forth from the tomb. Can you feel your heart beating again? …The Awakening is the unwrapping of our destiny. It is the emerging of what we were born to be. These songs and sounds are the beating of our hearts as we were awakened to the dream of God's"

"The Lord says there is nothing you can do that would make Him love you more. There is also nothing you can do to make Him love you less. He loves you because He loves you, because He loves you, because He loves you, because He loves you, because he loves you, because that is what He is like. It is His nature to love, and you will always be the Beloved. 'I love you as you are, so be loved. You are the Beloved. It is your job' says the Lord, 'to be loved outrageously. It is why I chose you. That is why I set my love upon you, that you would live as one who is outrageously loved, that you would receive a radial love, so radical that it will blow all your paradigms of what you think love is. And know this,' says the Lord, 'I will love you outrageously all the days of your life because I don't know how to be any different. This is who I am, and this is who I will always be. This is the I AM I promised you. I am He that loves your outrageously."
-Graham Cooke
What would that experience be like? To fearlessly envision the dreams of God, our creator, our lover? To step into the realm of who God created us to be in his outrageous love?
