How He Loves You
Usually this blog is light and fun, the original intent was to share pictures and daily doings of our life with family and friends spread out over the world, but every once in a while I just have to share from my heart even though there are different personal beliefs represented by those that read this blog. Here’s the thing, in light of a recent tragedy in our church family I feel that I would not be true to myself if I didn’t say this to anyone and everyone reading: there is Hope. There is Life. There is a light even in the darkest of nights. There is something going on bigger than our little story. Eternity is real, and I believe that no matter what has been done in the name of Christianity the Bible is true, and Jesus really did love us so much that he died for us- in our place- that if we choose Him we choose Life and eternal hope with him. Christians have done all kinds of things to wrongly represent Jesus but the bottom line is He’s the only one that will be faithful when no one else is. He loves us. HE LOVES US!
There is hope. No matter what.
“Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy…
…We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking…
How he loves us, oh how he loves us.”
From How He Loves by John Mark McMillan
A very powerful song with an important reminder of the depths of Christ’s unconditional love for each of us.
Thanks for sharing.
