Perfectly Loved
Our oldest son on a snowy walk feeling perfectly loved by God in the beauty of His creation.
God lavishes his love upon us. Lavish was a middle of the night word for me. When I looked it up in the verb form the definition was "bestow something in generous or extravagant quantities." Oh, my! That is God's love for sure...generous and extravagant.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!..“ 1 John 3:1
Read over these lyrics from the song "Perfectly Loved" by Rachel Lampa and Toby Mac.
"Ooh, even when you were runnin'
Even when you were hidin'Never been a moment that you were not perfectly loved
Whеn you barely believеd it When your eyes couldn't see it
Every single moment, you've always been perfectly loved
In the hands of the Infinite
As the wounds of the world became His
See the kindness Heaven has for you and how He's always been drawing you in
See the kindness Heaven has for you and how He's always been drawing you in
So many open doors, so many miracles That have followed you all of your life
Lookin' for the truth, look into your eyes, and you'll see it's been there the whole time"
Lookin' for the truth, look into your eyes, and you'll see it's been there the whole time"
We can't comprehend the depth of God's love. A love never waivers, decreases or increases. A love that is PERFECT.
