...To tell us, "I love you."

"And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,

that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God!"

~Ephesians 3:19~

Hey there all you amazing people!!!! :)

I'm happy to share this post with you and hope that it makes you happy too! :)

Isn't it great to be loved?  Don't you just love it when someone who knows you just "nails" a gift so perfectly for you or says the words that were e-x-a-c-t-l-y what you needed to hear?!  It just never ceases to amaze me and leave me speechless as to how personally God does those exact things, except perfectly!  A couple days ago, I was just struck by a sweet and specific way that God told me He loved me.  He gave me a gift that meant more to me that anyone could ever know, except for Him.  I couldn't stop smiling and shaking my head (and still am!) in absolute awe of how He loves to love each one of us in ways that only He knows how! :)

I've been really blessed by the lyrics

from a song that expresses so perfectly 

my thoughts for this post and I 

want to share them with you!

~Song by Mandisa "God Speaking"~

(I underlined my favorite parts! ;)

"Have you ever heard a love song that
Set your spirit free
Have you ever watched a sunrise and
Felt you could not breathe
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking

Have you ever cried a tear that
You could not explain
Have you ever met a stranger
Who already knew your name
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking

Chorus

Have you ever lost a loved one
Who you thought should still be here
Do you know what it feels like
To be tangled up in fear
What if He's somehow involved
What if He's speaking through it all

Chorus

His ways are higher
His ways are better
Though sometimes strange
What could be stranger
Than God in a manger

Who knows how He'll get a hold of us
Get our attention to prove He is enough
Who knows how He'll get a hold of you
Get your attention to prove He is enough
He'll do and He'll use
Whatever He wants to
To tell us "I love you"

God is speaking
"I love you"'

Every day, in a million ways - God is speaking to you, "I love you."  And if you are still and look, you'll see how perfectly personal He says those three precious words!  He knows you better than you know yourself and He'll do and use whatever He wants to - to tell you, "I love you!"  I love the part of the song that says, "His ways are higher, His ways are better. Though sometimes strange, what could be stranger than God in a manger?!"  So absolutely true!  He moves in ways that we might not have "planned" in our own finite minds, but He sees the whole grand picture and will do anything and everything that is needed to bring about His will in His perfect way!  And, THAT, my dear friend, is what He is doing right now for you!  

May you hear and see every one of God's, "I love you's!" and may you be blessed as He loves you in ways that NO ONE ever has, ever could or ever will love you!  That's how magnificent His love toward you is - soak it in today!!!!!!!! :)
