My treasure Lord, You are.
I can get in the habit of listening to a song over and over again. Pretending that it never ends. Being prepared and ready to start the song from the beginning to where I hear no silence in the in between.
Being the music geek that I am, I realized something puzzling about myself. Something I don't want to be puzzling, but a well known fact.
Listening to all the indie, underground, never heard of, acoustic, outlandish bands I could ever hope for, never fills me. In fact, when I go through a season where I find bundles of new groups and talented artists, I feel without. I can make mix cd after cd and it satisfies me only for a while. Sing brilliant line after line and still feel unmoved and unchallenged.
But when I listen to a song such as the one above, I am filled. With unmeasurable love and faith. I am full in His presence and ready for anything that should come my way. Fully armed to love anyone who comes my way, because I can not possibly have room enough in my heart for it all.
Not enough room in my heart to hold the love of God.
Isn't it beautiful to think of how he loves us? That after seeing His creations, He thought, "I can do one better than this." We are Gods masterpiece. We are His final and best work. He molded us perfectly in His sight and in His image. How can we diminish a work of a God so talented.
God made the mountains and rivers, then He made you.
He made the sunsets and rises, then He made you.
He formed colors and scents, then He created you.
Something I keep thinking about lately is that He breathed into me. That I simply don't know what it's like to live without Him, because He is a part of my bones. His spirit, His love, His beautiful nature, His creative hands, His heart. They're a part of me.
God loves you so much.
Go and love someone so much. People need that kind of Love.
