CrAzY lOvE

 (it was a bit hard to get all my thoughts together, so I apologize if the post it a little jumbled :/ )

I'm challenging myself to show some Crazy Love and I wanted to share it with y'all and Valentine's Day is a perfect time :]

So... Hawk Nelson came out with this awesome song called Crazy Love. I. love.it. I bought it the day it released. And its so thought provoking and has a special message to me. take a listen to it if you haven't heard it and then move on ;) its a funky unique music video, I laughed out loud when I first watched it!




How neat are those lyrics??


They say it sounds insane
We say that we've been changed
By the power of
Crazy Love
This world, it looks at us
Like we're ridiculous
Baby, it's all because
Of Crazy Love

 I've been convicted about this topic- crazy love. I feel God is using this song and movement to get me out of my comfort zone a bit and serve and glorify HIM by showing crazy love.
We, as Christians are called to love others (especially non Christians). with a special crazy love. To show mercy and grace to others. As a church and individually. God loves us unconditionally, why can't we show some crazy love to others?! I know, personally, I have a particular person that I have a hard to time loving. Because they are have a completely different personality and honestly I really don't have a desire to show them love. let's be honest.... there are some people in our lives that aggravate us so bad and annoy us, we don't like those people and don't want to get to know them. We can think of hundreds of reasons why they don't deserve love. Sometimes I just think "oh someone else can show them love" or "I don't have time". but I don't have any excuses for not showing that person love. I need to love them and show them grace.  This is world may look at us like we're out of our minds when we love our enemies but we know we are glorifying a mighty God :)

Love one another with brotherly affection. outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Romans 12:10 & 11

So I thought that around Valentine's Day is a great time to start the challenge! to show crazy love and grace to that particular person and others. and when people ask why we are doing it, we can say because of God's great love and mercy to us :)  I want to be so in love with Christ that I can show this world crazy love! will you join me?? :]
 
Happy Valentine's Day! :) 

with love,
Samarah
