"There is no higher worth in all the earth, but to love you how I love you"

My spring break has ended, and I'm sad about it. April will be one of the toughest months of my college career. I have to get my grades in pretty much ever class up or else my journey to be a pharmacist and life plan is over, I have a 90th anniversary weekend to put on for my chapter, and a week of events for my very first Delta Week. Thinking about this has me on the verge of tears. The weight of the world is literally on my shoulder. I click on my christian radio station and Christy Nockels comes on singing,

"And all I've needed is you Jesus. All my wanting is satisfied somehow. There is no higher worth in all the earth but to love you, how I love you. No greater call. No life at all, but to love you how I love you"

Among the other worries that come with carrying the weight of the world, I've been so busy looking for love. I got a text message from a fairly eligible boy. He asked what I was doing and I told him I was just finishing church. He didn't respond because I mentioned the Lord. That's what my friends told me at least. I was so busy worrying about this silly boy and all the other that  I forgot that I've already experienced the GREATEST love story ever told. The one between God and I. God's love is patient, his love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud... It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres. his love NEVER fails. Another verse comes to mind, "Greater love has no one than this, to lay down ones life for a friend"

I've been so overwhelmed during this period of lent that I've failed to give anything up and failed to dwell on the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ made for me. He died, so I can live fully and free of the burden of my sin. He took the weight holding me down, and I'm so silly for still trying to carry it. Still searching for the kind of love I've had since before I was born. God is the life, the truth, and the way. I really hope that I can continue to find the answers I'm looking for through him and stop trying to look in all the wrong places. I'm continuing to grow in my faith. The message I want to leave you with is plain and simple: God is Love. I am loved. You are loved. His love is all we need.
