Eph. 5:2 (The Message)
Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

When you can’t sleep (or at least me personally) you read - so tonight I re-read some of my bookmarked scriptures in the message, and one got me thinking (the one above) love is insanity, it truly is contrary to the most instinctive human nature “self” - this scripture rings in a song from Chris Rice called aptly “Love Like Crazy” the first verse goes:

I heard a rumor that love will make you crazy Well is it true? Well that’s no rumor, look at the crazy things that love made Jesus do The friends he chose were thought to be outrageous And you could even find him touching the contagious And the craziest is how he chose to save us He gave his life away Then he had to go and say “ Gotta love the same way that I love you!”

It’s a good song one day I’ll post it for all to enjoy but its nearly 4am, and ripping to MP3, then finding my MP3 flash app, it could be time consuming (and mildly illegal - okay okay, illegal in general) anywhoo - back on track, love is insanity by the worlds standards, I mean there are only a handful of folks I truly love outside my own family, I have a bunch of great friends, but some I’d literally do anything for, setting aside my own desires, meetings, etc. to do something for, drive across town to get glasses, whatever, upon first thought, its not me, it’s about them. I’ll admit the human nature seeps in now and again and wonders “What do I get in return?” but honestly in the end, getting to do something for someone is a great feeling in general, and heck, I’ve been saying I am crazy for years! One of these days you are all going to need to believe me.

Anywhoo - I am gonna hit the shower and try to sleep again, but thats just a scripture and song I had to share, may of done it before, but it just hit me again good tonight. God is Good. Night Folks.
