You Won't Relent

Yesterday, our worship team sang this song.  


I was captured by the description of the song, taken right from scripture from the Song of Songs:

"Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire,
the brightest kind of flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
nor can rivers drown it."
~Song of Songs 8:6-7 (NLT)

You see, our Lord has that incredible level of passion for us, the kind that possesses, demands, and desires so deeply.  This is the level of passion that normally burns out between two people, but with our God, will never end, not even in death.  

I shiver with joy, knowing He desires me that much.

  1. It's amazing that God still loves us ... knowing what He does about who we really are. Nothing is hidden from Him. It's been said that there is no other word that describes Grace other than Amazing. Carl ...

    1. Yes, this is the Love that confuses the world. Why would He love so fully, so passionately, when there is nothing about us that is worthy of His love?
