Sheep 100

What can separate me from you?

What can separate me from your love?
Who can separate me from you?
Who can separate me from your love?

All eyes on Jesus, on Jesus

I was lost and now I'm found

Was in fear, now safe and sound

All my life I had conformed

Now with you I am transformed

Face down and fallen to the ground

Humbled by your majesty

Your love has turned my life around

Your love has set me free
Jesus, Jesus

Who can say what comes tomorrow

Who can reason about yesterday

I fear nothing because I know

You hold me each and every day

What can separate me from you?
What can separate me from your love?
Who can separate me from you?
Who can separate me from your love?
All hope in Jesus, in Jesus

On true love

The thing with true love is, you don't always expect it to end up with you standing with  someone by your side. Sometimes it means standing alone. Sometimes it means walking away from something or someone you hold dear. Sometimes it means letting go. Sometimes it means getting over something and moving on with life. Sometimes it means holding absolute silence. Sometimes it means being loud. Sometimes it means holding on tightly. Sometimes it means stepping up. Sometimes it means stepping forward. And sometimes, yes, it means standing next to someone you hold dear, but what I mean to remind you of is that, that's not all there is to being really in love. And to know more about love, we'll need to learn from the Author who made Himself into nothing and loved us faithfully with the deepest love the world has ever known.

Wanting His Reason

Recently, I have been more than a little sulky about losing my shot at one of my most precious ambitions. It was a long wait before I realized that dream. It takes me a while to make my decisions, but when I do put my bills on something, I am not one to typically sit around and wait for the stars to fall on me. I am the go-getter who believes that good things come to those who go for it. 

But I was then stuck in this very profound disappointment. Why, Lord... I asked... for many weeks I had asked that, even with the idea that I don't deserve anything and I am at his mercy. I simply wanted his reason.

I realize that when God puts away one of our toys, He leads our eyes to notice a more suitable one... and I believe that whatever he puts in my hand, I'd be satisfied because He is more than enough for me.
