He wants you.



Matthew 18:12-14
“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.


You ask ‘for what’ God wants you. Isn’t the primary answer that He wants you? - CS Lewis

In all success and failures, he just wants you.

There is a moment at the end of the recent Divergent Insurgent Allegiant books where one character has the revelation moment and declares with awe, wonder, and joy "I can't move, can't speak. She chose me. She chose me!"

When I look at why a marriage succeeds or fails, I find there is a choice in love.  When we said our vows, we choose to love in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer. 

Sometimes the choice is hard. But nobody ever said marriage, or even love, was easy.
