Wow.
So many reasons I love the Lord....
let me count the ways.
One ...two....three....four....five.....six......wait a minute I think I am actually supposed to "tell" you why aren't I?
*smile*
WOW
That would take like
FoReVeR since I love him for sooooooo many reason and so many ways.
For instance, the face that,
GOD LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY.
That is one of things I love most about Him
and that,
GOD SEES THE GOOD IN US IN EVERYTHING NOT THE BAD.
That is also one of my most favorite things.
I mean have you ever noticed, we as humans have a tendency to "expect perfection"? Especially in others. Jesus spent a good long time in His ministry talking about this. One parable that comes to mind, in particular, is the one about where Jesus talks about ..."
worrying about the speck of sawdust we see in our brothers eye without even noticing the plank of wood in our own eye." (paraphrased Matthew 7:3)
Part of our human nature I guess....we do that allot. Have a tendency to judge "others" more often than ourselves. Although that can be change, as we change and become more in the likeness and image of Jesus. As John the Baptist put it,
"He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30)
Another thing I absolutely LOVE about the Lord is,
HE IS FAITHFUL.
I can always count on Him no matter what. I have lived a very long 49 years and I will admit have put my God through allot....and He has NEVER LEFT MY SIDE>>>>>>EVER.
He has always been there for me. During my darkest hour.
And a few more things I love....He....
ALWAYS KEEP HIS WORD....HIS PROMISES.....ALWAYS
HE'S NEVER LATE
HE CAN READ MY MIND, WHEN I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY
HE GIVES THE BEST HUGS EVER
I LOVE HIS LAUGH
HE'S A GREAT DANCER
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD
HE GIVES THE BEST ADVICE
HE NEVER -EVER-EVER-GIVES UP ON THOSE HE LOVES
.
You know I just realized I am describing the Lord.....*smile*.....well, I guess it's just kinda hard "
count the ways" you love someone in words.
The Lord, God, Jesus....is MY WORLD...the very reason for my existence.
You know I was having a conversation with someone the other day about music and a certain singer came up in the conversation. She was a Christian artist. This person I was talking with is not a believer. They asked me the question about the singer, "Is this one of those singers that sings only God songs. You know only songs all about God?...I mean I am just not about that. One or two is okay but all of them how can you sing every single one about God?"
You know...I didn't take the opportunity to answer that question at that time as I am going to now. Partly because of the circumstances surrounding the conversation and partly because I hadn't thought of this answer until tonight.
So...the question, "Is this one of those singers that sings only God songs. You know only songs all about God?...I mean I am just not about that. One or two is okay but all of them how can you sing every single one about God?"?"
The answer:
Quite simple actually....when you are passionate about someone or something you can sing a life time about them without ever getting bored or stopping.
After all isn't that what the worldly artists do? Those that sing about LOVE? Drugs and sex?
What ever they are passionate about...and what ever the listener is passionate about is WHAT THEY LISTEN TO.
I personally could sing of HIS love forever.
Yes....HE, Jesus....God....IS MY EVERYTHING.
I love Him .....
.let me count the ways........(in my sleep tonight)
