What Love is This

"What love is this that You gave Your life for me

And made a way for me to know You

And I confess, You're always enough for me

You're all I need!!"

Thank You, Father, for songs like this that remind me of the bigness of Your sacrifice. Your love doesn't make sense; Your love is radical; Your love is magnificent! You drew my heart to a moment of overwhelming joy and thankfulness when listening to this song last week. I praise You, Jesus, for being faithful to bring my heart to a humble low and raising my eyes to see You high and lifted up! You stirred deep emotion in me to confess all the things that I pretend I need and that will satisfy my soul when You are enough and all I need. When I truly encounter this love, YOUR LOVE, I am brought to my knees in awe and then stand to my feet rejoicing that I can submit my life to You and be used by the Creator of the Universe. There is such freedom in remembering Your amazing love and grace for me! It's not about me or what I  can achieve!! But about YOU, Your glory, and Your renown!

O God, You have made a way for me to know You! What a gift!! A gift I take for granted or neglect to enjoy in its fullness. A way to know You!! Thank You, Jesus, for Your perfect life lived on my behalf; Your awe-ful death died in my place; and Your victorious resurrection that brings me life!!! You have made a way for me to know You!! And it's through Your blood on the cross! Thank You, Lord, for Your rescue plan. All to make much of Your name and glory! Loving a people so they can live for You, love You, and reflect Your image!

"knowing that you were ransomed...not with perishable things...but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot."   1 Peter 1:18-19
