YOUR LOVE IS ALIVE

I've been listening to this great Aiyesha Woods CD, "Love Like This.” It's about God's love. One song, " Alive," has made me reflect on how deep—and real—His love is.

It floors me. It's so steady, so consistent. I think of how many times I've disappointed Him. When I’ve forgotten that He has a heart, too. When He's told me to be still, and I haven't been. When I've made promises I haven't kept. When I've given Him anything less than my very best.

Yet He stays, holding His arms out to me--gently leading me back when I stray. He makes me feel forgiven when I feel condemned. He shows me the right way, but so lovingly. I can go to Him at any moment--He never changes, or gets sick of me.

He's showing me how to love. To be steady, forgiving and transparent--like He is. He's The Ultimate Companion; The Best Company. He teaches me what it means to be truly selfless.

I love 1 John 4:10—“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

Thank you, Lord, for pursuing me--to the point of death--even death on The Cross. Your name is Greater, Your Love is Higher.

What I render to you for all your benefits, as David said, must
cost me something.

To borrow from "Alive": "You are the giver of all that have/What can I give to You? / Please take my heart / I owe you my life / I offer it all to You / And every day I want the world to see / That your love is alive and well in me.“

Lord, each day, Take my breath away.

Yes, His Love is Alive!
