like a kiss on the face (from soul cravings)...

"when God does come to embrace us, to meet us face-to-face, to bring us into relationship with him, we far to often find ourselves betraying love...
yet His love is undeterred...
he still pursues us with relentless compassion...
god is the passionate lover of humanity...
he created you for love...
you cannot live without love, and you do not have to...
yes, there is an insanity to live. You will go mad pursuing it...
you will despise life itself if you do not find it...
your soul craves love and will find satisfaction with nothing less...
you shouldn't be surprised that as you look for love, you keep running into God...
listen to your soul... you have not given yourself to a futile search...
you are not alone in your pursuit...
love searches for you..."

my favorite line in this is "you shouldn't be surprised that as you look for love, you keep running into God"...

i haven't totally figured out why i connected so strongly with this line...i just know that as I was reading today at the beach I read this line probably 10 times...it stopped me dead in my tracks...i'll keep trying to figure it out...i dont know...

till later...
