Love

Last night I finished reading a book called Immanuel's Veins  by Ted Dekker. And I will never, ever look at love the same way again. Just thinking about the end of that book makes my heart tug. I mean I cried. I never cry when reading books, so matter how well written or sappy the story line is. But this... this is something totally different. This isn't just another love story. This is the most amazing love story you will ever read. It will change you. I promise it will change you. After reading this book, I now see God's love for me as such a real thing. I am His bride and He loves me. We are lovers. He saved me when I declined His confession of love for me. He bled for me and He healed me. I can't believe it. 

Please.... I urge you, I BEG you to go buy or borrow this book. It's Ted Dekker's newest novel. It may cost you money but not reading it could possibly cost you a deeper relationship with Christ. You may or may not be intrigued by the first chapter but PLEASE read on! Just keep reading and it will change you! By the end of the book, I bet you will be in tears, because I was. And thinking back on it, my heart swells with awe. Ted is such an amazing writer and delivers the story so well. Please, please, please read this book! Please! 

Reading this book will give you a glimpse of what real love is. Of what God's love is. You will never be the same. I know I'm making it sound like the Bible or something and it's not, but it opens your eyes. This realization will dawn on you and you will be awestruck. So please, please read this book. I would absolutely recommend it for anyone and everyone (as long as their not a little kid, some parts may scare them). 

And as a girl, I just had to say this. Even the thought of love or attention from boys is dimmed in the light of this love. This... this is real love. 

With a heart for my Lord.

Yours truly,
