He gave it anyway

I was just browsing through my Tumblr dashboard and came across this message an anonymous girl asked Bryan (one of the strong Christian guys I've been following).



Here's what Bryan had to say:

You know something? You said you feel unworthy of His love, you couldn’t be more right! We are all unworthy of God’s unconditional love; His unfailing love, His patient, kind, beautiful, powerful, amazing, love…

…but He gave it anyways.

Sorry to say this, but I don’t care what it is that you may have done in your past…there’s something called God’s love. This is the kind of love that keeps no records of wrongs. This love can and will forgive you for your past.

What does it cost to partake in this great love? It costs a lot, but God already paid for it. God already paid for YOU, through giving His son, HIS ONLY SON, to die for you. You can’t even put a price on that, it costs so much.

Don’t be beaten by the term ‘virgin’. Instead, look at it as cleanliness. A man who looks at a women lustfully is unclean in their heart. A person who has committed adultery is unclean in their flesh, but in Christ you are made clean and new. Your heart and flesh can be made clean through your love for Him.

Your heart is scarred I know, but God is arranging for you to be with somebody who will honor you and cherish you like a gem. It’s hard to look past the people you had feelings for, I’ve been there, but once you encounter the love of Jesus Christ, TRULY encounter the love of Jesus Christ, that will be the last love you seek. Trust me. You feel incomplete, I know, but the feeling of incompleteness that we sustain is not the feeling of being single, incompleteness is a result of not being full in Jesus.

I've always admired this guy for being genuinely honest and for having such a strong love for Christ. Try reading his other posts. They'll open up your hearts and minds to things you probably never understood before.


Spread love like fire and God bless!
