40 songs for 40 days {How He Loves}

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

As a father shows compassion to his children,

Psalm 103:11-13

There I was standing at the kitchen sink, a familiar place.

Pouring out prayers as I scrubbed each dish, calling out names & remembering His promises.

This lyric washed over me like a Word straight from Heaven!

He is jealous for me
Love's 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
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

I rinsed off the last plate – stretched my hands toward the ceiling and began to sing & cry & laugh & dance, much like a little girl twirling for her Father.

eclipsed by Glory …

He Loves Me.

He. Loves. Me.

Day 36: Consume our hearts – Oh Lord we pray, that we would realize Your Great Love for us!
