This kind of love sustains life. This love is constant (Jeremiah 31:3), never failing (Romans 8:31), never fading, and most certainly never ending (John 3:16). This kind of love disciplines. It breaks down pride to develop desire. This kind of love never has selfish motives. Isaiah 49:16, We are inscribed on the palms of His hands.
This kind of love has filled and overflowed my cup. I look back on my life and realize how lost and broken I was without this love (Revelation 21:4). This love exist because of Jesus. The sacrifice (2 Corinthians 5:21), death, and resurrection enabled this kind of love to even exist (Romans 5:8). This love looks at me with arms wide open, knowing that I will fail. This kind of love is vulnerable, knowing that it will be rejected. This kind of love desires our attention, our love, and our affection.
In times of worship this love reveals truth to our hearts. This kind of love is unnatural to man, and cannot be described by the human language, because it is a feeling. A feeling only experienced in a relationship with a living God! So thankful and blessed to experience this love. This love promises over and over again to never leave us (Isaiah 41:10).
Studying the word tonight and this song touched my heart :) Over and Over again this love is revealed and presented to those who love Him and surrender their life to Him. There is nothing to lose, except your baggage, pain, guilt, sorrow, sadness, and hatred. This kind of love fills you will joy, identity, reliance, love, security, and most importantly hope in such a broken and dark world. This love desired me, even when I rejected it. It fought for me, when I fought against it. This love is so powerful it took all my broken pieces and glued them back together. This looks and me the way It looks at His son, Jesus. This love continues to set me apart and renew my heart.
