Love Out Loud

"O Zion, that brings good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain: O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; 

say unto the cities of Judah, 

Behold your God!" ~Isaiah 40:9

Hi there Everyone!  

Glad you could stop by my blog today!

Ever notice that a lot of love songs have lyrics about declaring love?  (As they should of course - lol!) Love SHOULD be declared!  I like the songs where the guy sings to the girl that he loves her so much he could shout it from the rooftops and proclaim it on the mountaintops! (and vice versa!)

My point of this post, however, isn't to let you know what lyrics I like to hear in a love song - lol! My point is just a simple reminder that when your life is the Lord's - you are in the grandest romance of them all!  You are in a covenant relationship with the Author of Love and this fact should make you want to shout from the rooftops and proclaim from the mountaintops - HIS LOVE!!!!  Just as we love talking about and declaring our love for our loved ones to those around us, without hesitation; ALL THE MORE should we love telling others about God's personal love!  

We should LOVE to love God out loud! :)  

There are countless ways to do so and even the simplest acts of love done sincerely, speak loud of Who God is!  :)

"I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am the Lord : that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands." -Isaiah 42:6-12

"Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart." -Psalms 32:11 

"But if any man love God, the same is known of him."-1 Corinthians 8:3

"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." -Ephesians 5:2

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us." -1 John 4:16-19 

Blessings to you friends as you love God out loud in every thing you do!

"Shout" your love from the "mountaintops"!
