God's love

so...my first priority should be to love God. something sooo simple, but for some reason easy to get off track of. i get off track becaus ei become wrapped up in what is happening to me everyday. the different trials that i go through. i let those things push God away just enough so He may not be the center of my life. i could also be focusing on the things of God, like prayer or bible study, and not be focused on God Himself. My love for God is only in response in His unfailing love for me. its not something i make, or read about. its just there. If I thought that God was there, but didnt love me, he just created me and said "now go on and have fun with life"...i wouldnt pay much attention to Him. BUT He give me attention. He helps me when i need help, Hes always there to talk to, He forgives me when i do something wrong. He is the lover of my soul, and everyone elses. He pursues me everyday, and is just aching to convince me of His wonderful love. He gave His life....for me. He definatly didnt have to, he could have just said "forget it. your not worth forgiving.its way to much trouble for me to do that."...but He didnt. He chose to make the sacrifice. thats how much He loves me. so how do i repay Him? i love Him back, i do what i can to have the intimate relationship with Him that He strives for and that i long for. i need to be honest with myself, and break down sometimes. i need to push aside my pride. heh...easier said then done. Its amazing. God loves me so much, He is reaching out to me everyday...even if i do push Him away a little, Hes still right there, waiting for me to run back into His arms.

Lord i come to You,
let my heart be changed, renewed
flowing from the grace,
that i find in You.

Lord ive come to know,
the weaknesses You see in me,
will be stripped away,
by the power of Your love.

Hold me close,
let Your arm surround me.
bring me near,
draw me to Your side.
and as i wait,
ill rise up like the eagle.
and i will soar with You,
Your spirit leads me on,
by the power of Your love.
