He Loves Us

  • God moves all around us. He moves and shifts and changes things in ways we can't always see or notice. But sometimes, we do see. We do notice. I am amazed by how much he loves.
  • He loves us. Oh how he loves us. Oh how he loves us. Oh how he loves.
  • Our Lord is jealous for us. He wants our hearts to focus on him. He wants our eyes on him. Our ears trained toward him. He wants us to seek him above all else. And when we do, he blesses us beyond what we deserve.
  • When I say bless, I don't mean with money or things we want, necessarily. He blesses us with little things, with heart things, with soul things. He causes us to grow. He causes us to be who we are meant to be. He increases our capacity to love. He works in us. And aren't all of these things things that we don't deserve? Aren't they all things that are better than any thing we could ask for? He blesses us with heart things, and with soul things, because of his never-ending, uncompromising, unconditional love.
  • He is jealous for us. He wants us to let go of the things of this world. To let go of the things that we hold above him, and just trust in him. He wants us to turn our faces toward him and never look away because we are too in love with him. He is our Father and the lover of our hearts. He wants us to try to love him the way he loves us. He is love.

    I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
    When I think about, the way…
