At this moment, I would simply like to dwell upon my favorite Christian song. It's a song that melts my heart when it freezes up and solidifies; it's a song that lifts up my soul to Him completely. I have never heard this song and sang the lyrics of this song without entirely feeling weightless and set free. It's entitled "Loves Like A Hurricane."
He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
I realize just how beautiful you are
And how great your affections are for me
And oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so
Yeah He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
We are His portion, and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking
So Heaven meets Earth like a sloppy, wet kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
Why? Why on this displeasing earth would the Heavenly Father choose to love us-as we sin against Him time and time again? How can He hear every perverse thought we think and see every sinful action we commit and continues to anoint us with unceasing love, mercy, and grace?
Lord, Your righteousness is beautiful. Refine us. Shine within us. Be in us.
We need You within this evil, satanic world. We need each other-our brethren-for fellowship.
On a more personal level Jesus, help me figure out my college predicament. Christian college vs. Non-christian college...Lead my way Lord. Show me, in whichever college I end up attending, how to bring glory to Your name. I realize that I will yearn for a deeper relationship with you more than ever before once I hit the freedom of college. However, I realize that I will find some way of convincing myself that I simply do not have the time to develop that deeper connection. Therefore, with that lack of motivation, I lose You. I ask that You grant me the will and the determination to delve deep into Your word once I'm separated from my Christian support system. I pray for all my Christian friends in that way. Give us long-lasting determination and steadfastness of heart. :)
Yank Me Towards You Lord.
