Not that we loved God, But that He loved us.

"If the world exists not chiefly that we may love God but that God may love us, yet that very fact, on a deeper level, is so for our sakes. If he who in Himself can lack nothing chooses to need us, it is because we need to be needed."
                                                     C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

This really astounds me. I love how it's giving me greater insight into just how much God loves us. He loves us enough to give us our freedon so that he can woo us and call us to him. He choose to need us because the only way we could really even call needing God was for him to choose to need us so that he may be in reach. It's like the verse, "This is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us" (1 John 4:10). The only way we could possibly dare to love God was if he came down and showed us how to love him. We all need God like the very air we breathe but we never knew how to need God unless he demonstrated it first.

God choose to want us and then he placed this infathomable need for God into us. There must be a reason why we all know that our earth is not how it should be. There is a reason as to why we know that something is wrong in our societies, in our pain, in our suffering. Our souls know the perfection that God orignally made for us. We have never seen it, but we know it. God has told our souls what we really want because it's his desire for us as well. God made it so that he would want us and by doing that, we were able to grasp what our wildest dreams couldn't contain. That we could dare to want God and that his perfection would want us back.
