Recently, I have truly been wondering EXACTLY what love is. I finally decided to go to God. Who better to learn love from then love Himself? So I was listening to a song... really trying to open up my heart for His love. It was a song called "There Is Nothing Like" by Hilsong United. Here is the chorus...
And all
To You God
For all You are to me
There is nothing like
There is nothing like
Your Love.. Your Love
Pretty basic right? I'm sitting here, trying to comprehend His love, and I truly just suddenly felt like I was missing it. I was missing His love. That's why I can't seem to love others well, and many other things. So I went from this song, to praying "God SHOW ME YOUR LOVE" over and over. Well, then I thought about a song and started listening to it. It's called From the Inside Out by Hilsong United.
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
So then I start to think... man, I just really don't know God's love, so I don't know what God's love is! Then I was praying for God yet again to SHOW ME HIS LOVE, and it HIT me. He has. It's funny, earlier today I was thinking about posting something about how big of a deal it was that He sent His son. Something like, "would you ever do that?" Or something... And then this comes along. THAT is His love. I mean I have always heard how He loves us and sent his only begotten son etc... but to really understand that love, and know that it's in US so we can love Him back and others... now there is an amazing concept.
I leave you with this video, hopefully reminding you of His love as it has reminded me.

first of all I have to say those are definately on my top 3 favorite worship songs.
and second, I just have to say I think this is your best post yet, very powerful with that video in there and its awesome that you realized that Jesus is God's love, which then makes God love.
Good stuff man keep it up!
I have to agree with jacob....those songs really rock.
and this whole post sounds soo...i dont know..familiar?! lol..i love it :)
keep it up!
AH!! YES! Like Jacob said Jesus is God's love and Jesus is God, so God is God's love and God's love is true love, so God is love! It totally makes sense now! Wow. Okay so to be in love with someone else you have to be in God with someone, which means you have to love Jesus with them and let God be the center of the relationship. Perfect! I love it!
