Sometimes I let paranoia, instead, wash over me. I question my friendships, I question my relationships, I question everything. And it really tears at me. I hate it, but I seem to find myself allowing paranoia to question my friendships.
But, today has been a good day, despite disappointing circumstances. I was able to do a Bible study, pray, and even read a portion of Psalm 119. I was able to set up time-management applications with my friend, and kind of began an accountability system to make sure we are doing what needs to be done with the time we have.
But even at that, paranoia crept in.
However, I turned on music and the first song I began to listen to was about God's love for us. I began to feel the love of God.
Nothing can separate us from God's love. And nothing compares to it. Even in the midst of sorrow, disappointment, discouragement, paranoia, feelings of having no one who loves you--even in all of that, God's love is so great for us. And if we let his love rain down on us we can experience it. If we do not obstruct it, we will get drenched, soaked, in his love.
His love is incredible. It is his love that drives our love for him. It is his love for us that drives us to live for him. It is his love for us that drives us to live holy lives.
Embrace it. Immerse yourself in it. Let it wash over.
