Created to Love Like You


I am indeed created to love like Him – like my beautiful, amazing, powerful Father God. I want to feel and experience this truth deeper every day so that my life could really be filled with His love for me and with His love for the people around me.

 
But I truly know I’m still on a process loving like He does. His love is endless, His love is furious, His love is totally unconditional. His love is perfect in every way. And my love… well.

So, I’m on a process learning to love more and more like my Father, the God Almighty does. And for the rest of this spring time and the summer time I’m going to be learning to love in Recife, Brazil. God opened a door for me to go to work as a volunteer in a worship and mission ministry Shores of Grace. Shores of Grace is working in Brazil focusing on setting those in prostitution and abuse free and bringing the love of the Father everywhere they go. I feel so privileged to go there and get to learn from the beautiful and life-changing work SOG is doing.

”Learning to love is the war – the whole purpose of your time on earth.” I read this quote two days ago from a book called Moral Revolution – 40 Day Journey to Purity by Kris Vallotton & Jason Vallotton - a father and a son. I couldn't agree more. God has shown me His love in so many ways. And He has shown me how furiously He loves everyone. He longs so deeply to get to show His love for everyone - for everyone that He has created on His own image. And wow, am I going to see more and more of God's love poured out in Recife, yes!

So, here it begins – my blogged story about my spring and summer time in Brazil learning to love. You are so welcomed to follow this journey!

PS. The address of my blog comes from the lyrics of this b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l song Glory to Glory by Nic and Rachael Billman, the leaders of Shores of Grace. The name of my blog comes from the inspiring book called, well, Learning to Love from missionaries and my role models Heidi and Rolland Baker.
