Sometimes, words speak exactly to where we are in life. I get this mostly from songs. I wrote in my journal tonight in response to a line in a song that has haunted me for some time. It is a beautiful haunting, because it reminds me that God is always looking forward and is always redeeming. This is the line and what it caused my heart to say.
“I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about how He loves.”
Because Your love is so great, because Your love is so covering, because Your love is so incomprehensible, because Your love is so beyond me, because Your love is blind to anything I’ll ever do, because Your love is so real, because Your love is for me, I cannot allow my thoughts and my heart to stay in the place where my sin has brought me. After You have forgiven me because of Your love, I can do nothing but receive and know Your love. Your love crushes my regrets and my sin and You demand that my attention is for You and not for what I have sinned. You hold me as my Father and tell me to focus on You love, and that is incredible. I love You so much.
The love of God is something that is so mysteriously beautiful, and I’m absolutely captivated by it.
One.Love
