His Love

His love is wide; His love is long.

His love is hard; His love is strong.

His love has no end; His love I cannot comprehend.

His Agape is Charis and Eirene; His Agape is today.

This Love I cannot see, but I know I have been set free.

For today, tomorrow, and forever, I will stand, for I have seen the love through His hands.

It is something you can't buy; It is something that can't hide.

It is something you can't sell, but surely it is something I can tell.

His love is vast; for it is where my fears have been cast.

His love is courageous as it is outrageous.

He has seen the east and west and because of that I have seen his best, so I can rest.

His love makes me live; His love I want to give.

For you can receive it as I believe it

Or you can ignore it while I explore it.

Today is the day He has made; it is the day we are forever saved.

Do not get discouraged for His love can encourage.

His love is charismatic; His love even creates a static.

His love is not a trickle, nor is is fickle.

His love is steady and fast; it will always last.

His love is pure; it is the cure.

His love...His love...His love...

Just Stop and Think...

This is powerful. It is moving, and it is inspiring. It is about a God who relentlessly pursues us regardless of who we have become or what we have done. It is about a God who doesn't need us to survive, yet desires us passionately as his bride.

Crazy Love

My friend pointed out to me today a excerpt from one of her favorite books, Crazy Love. It reads something like this: 1 Corinthians 13, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." This is a famous piece of scripture because it defines the very nature of God...Love. It defines who He is and everything He is about. It depicts His perfect love for each of us. So, the book tells the importance of the passage and then asks for the reader to replace Love with the reader's name. This author's point is to say that our attitude should be the very nature of Christ's ( Philippians 2:5 ). We can show the world, Godly love.

Try it:
(Your name) is patient. ( ) is kind. ( ) does not envy...etc.

I understand that we cannot perfect this ideal essence of Love, but we can try. We can try to love the world so much that we recognize the desperate need of God's children just as though He saw the suffering and did something about it all the way back in the book of Exodus. If God's spirit is in our very breath...in our souls...we have the ability to love as He does.

His love is something amazing. It is something that never gets old. It is perfect and all encompassing. It is pure compassion. It is "an ocean wide, even when it is a raging sea. " He's stays right there with us, where He says He belongs. And He says this, " it's okay, you can hold on to me. We are going to make it. Don't worry about the past because Love is an ocean wide enough to forget even when we think we can't. "

*quotes from Ocean Wide- the Afters

So, to the world, let's go show the love through our personal stories of the victory and love of Christ. Let us be patient and kind saying to others, it's okay, you can hold on to me until we pass through this tunnel. Let us continue to encourage and Love as though God does for us.

Now, that's CRAZY Love...
