"I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affection is for me"
This song lyric popped into my head last night as I was trying to fall asleep. If you have never heard, this if from the song, "How He loves" by David Crowder. I love this song it is so simple, but in a way is the exact opposite of God's love for us. His love is complex, profound, but above all beautiful. My love for Him is messy, it is covered in tears and it is at times absent. I do love God, but sometimes I think I act like the guy I heard about in right start- "I told you I loved you I loved you when we got married, if that changes I willl let you know." That is the worst, why am I not praising God and telling him how much I love Him all day everyday? He doesn't stop, His love doesn't change, why does mine?
This song lyric hit me hard as I was falling asleep. Not only is God beautiful, His affection for me is great. ME, me who feels at times God has forgotten about me. Me, me who doesn't come and talk with Him as much as I should. He still has affection for me. That thought gave me such comfort last night and made me want to praise Him more!
I love this!
