My prayer is that today, you listen to this song, and know that you are loved.
Yes, YOU.
LOVED. Passionately, completely, purely.
This song took my breath away when I first heard it - because it is so different from the majority of love that exists in our fallen, human world. The love within these lyrics is true, pure, and safe. This love is one that protects, sustains, provides, hopes, and believes.
Love can be found in the arms that hold you in silence or the voice that corrects firmly but gently.
Love can be found in the brightest day when your future feels incredibly hopeful or the darkest night when love beckons, "Open your eyes, beloved - I promise you, light is coming."
Love can be found in the bleary eyes of the Mom up at 3 am and in the man who plants a seed of hope deep in a desperate life.
Love can be found on your knees in prayer, encouraging someone to finish the race, or speaking the breath of life into a soul wrought with pain.
Love can be found in forgiveness.
Love can be found in sharing your testimony because it allows the deepest trials of your life to be used for His glory.
Love can be found in a manger, at the foot of the cross, and in the empty grave.
For some, love might seem so far away. I know I've been hurt before by "love" that ended up being much, much less than God's heart for love. But I have learned (and am learning) that a heart that is closed might indeed be safe ... but it also can't breathe and live.
My sweet readers, if you can't trust anyone else in the name of love here on earth, I pray that you can trust and rest in the Creator of love who longs to change your definition. And if you already bask in that Love today, just drink it in!
