for the ages

Wow, God. You’re good! Thank You.

Yes! Thank You!

Waking up. Singing. Two different songs blending together. Unsure which is which. Finding both. Ending with chills. And a smile for the ages.

Lord God, thank You for the ways You bless us. With hope. Your love. Music. Truth. 

Thinking the words of the song were “Love Finds a Way” I was surprised to find they are actually “love's got a way...” Just a subtle, little change that sings volumes. Thank You Father.

Oh! May I just say how much better and better this is getting?! The lyrics alone are piercing enough. Then I found an AI Overview generated about them.

Stating of the song, it “explores the transformative and healing power of love, especially in the face of pain and hate. The lyrics emphasize love’s ability to bring healing to a broken heart, create beauty from ashes, break chains, and overcome hate. The song also speaks of surrendering to love, letting go of pride, and trusting its power to bring about change.”

Yes! Father, we need You. Your love. Your will. Your way. 

Without meaning to I keep interchanging the Truth of Your Word with the lyrics. 1 John 4:7-8. “Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”

How rich. How true!

Father, thank You for the opportunity to sing and read of Your love. All of chapter 13 in 1 Corinthians gives us glimpses of what You and Your love truly are. Spelled out. For all the ages.

Blessed [happy!] God, I want to love as You created and designed me to love. Freely. Without hesitation or reservation.

A quote heard again yesterday restates the importance of not letting hurts of the past destroy our hopes for the future. I want to hope in You Lord. Fully trusting and believing

♪Love’s Got a Way♪

can very easily be sung

♪God's got a way♪

Thank You that just as insistent as this Truth sings, another begins in its wake.

♪Your Word is a lamp unto my feet

Your way is the only way for me It’s a narrow road that leads to life

But I wanna be on it

It’s a narrow road but the mercy’s wide

‘Cause You’re good on Your promise

I’ll Take You At Word 

If You said it, I’ll believe it

I’ve seen how good it works

If You start it, You’ll complete it

I’ll take You at Your Word♪

Yes! Father, I want desperately to take You at Your Word. Trusting. Believing. Living and loving as You would have me. Do all You must in using me as You know is best.

I love, need, trust and want You. Thank You for first loving me. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
