chorus:
I wont run when it looks like love
I won’t hide beneath the fear
Of how my past has come undone
I wont run when it looks like love
I can’t spend another night alone
Regretting what I’ve done
So, I won’t run.

This really hit me the other day, I think that I do run from love. I don't know why it's so hard for me to understand and live out that God loves me just as I am. Sure it's really easy to say. We say "Jesus loves you" all the time. But do I really live that out; do go about my life as a response to that or do I keep running and act any way that I want to.
Ohh! Ok a big example to me is when Keagan is doing what ever he wants to and getting into mischief as usual. Sometimes he ends up getting into trouble. I look at him during this time (yea I'm probably frustrated) but I still love him just as much as I do when he crawls in our bed in the morning and says goodnight and lays down on my pillow.
So why is it so hard to realize that God loves me even more than that all the time, and that I should respond to that with a life of gratitude, and obedience. Just keeping that perspective is the hard part. I guess that's my thoughts for today.
