My Heart

"You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
It's a mystery"

I often go through my life confused with the idea of, "who am I, really?" I've been a believer for a little while now, and even though I hear how I belong to Christ and that's who I am, sometimes I just can't grasp that. I look at my heart, and I am often discouraged by who I am. There is an fight going on in my heart deciding who I am. By nature I am a mean, selfish and prideful man. Yet because of this mystery I am bound to, my heart is continually being renewed. This time it is being changed from falling in love with the things that fall, into something.... bigger. I love that has proven that it does not know how to fail.

Who am I? I'm the love of an all knowing God. I am God's beloved. I'll be with and will worship this God for the rest of time. This mystery I will never solve, but I can release the lies that I so easily believe, and hold onto the truth. Perhaps the hardest lie to overcome is how loved I am. Luckily God gives me practical examples of how much he loves me. Through relationships he's blessed me with, through a purpose, a mission God shows me, an undeserving man, that I am his beloved, I am his, I will not be parted from him because he has died for me. For better or worse, forever I will be in the truth. Tasting this life, I can see a love in God that will not fail.
