How He loves..

I've had this song on my heart and in my thoughts on repeat these last few days... The more time I spend living this life - with all my mistakes, insecurities, dreams, joys and frustrations - the more I'm realizing how deeply and completely the Lord craves my heart, desires my attention, delights in being good to me... He is romancing my heart - who better to know exactly what takes my breath away and makes my heart sing then the One who created it?! The lyrics, emotions and images of this song describe intimately the way my heart is feeling these days - astounded that the Lord of all, the Greatest Lover of all time, is pursuing not only my thoughts but my heart and soul as well.. All this through minute and intimate details; through the small things like lyrics, paintings, music, conversations, places to sleep, beautiful drives, and stunning sunrises - these things that make

my soul dance and bring me to life..

Im speechless at this life that I have, the incredible people that surround me and this earth I get to walk on. Gosh, how beautiful that we get to not just see God in people but are called to walk life with our brothers and sisters through weddings and marriages, birth of babies and graduations, the break ups and the falling in love, adventures and trials, joys and frustrations, tears and laughter; to not just watch miracles happen but be apart of this transformation process; not not only dream of being redeemed and whole but to have Jesus be working this out through people and circumstances -- and all this because of His anbeliveable grace and love.

Take a few seconds and listen to this song... Allow the Lord to whisper these words in your ear and sink them deep into your heart; to wash away insecurities, frustrations, worries, fears and failures with His grace, joy, patience, desire and love for you..

"He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us oh
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

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
So Heaven meets earth like an "sloppy wet" kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way

And oh, how He loves us oh
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
