Sweet Sounds From Heaven

Yesterday at church we sang some wonderful songs about God’s intimate love for us. One of them was “The Love of God”, which never fails to make me cry. The other one is newer and may be entitled “Oh How He Loves Me.” I have been thinking about God’s Great Love for me personally and as usual, end up in a puddle somewhere. Today did not disappoint. The later song has a verse that goes something like: “when Heaven touched earth with a sloppy wet kiss.” Man, that says it all!

Just remembering the day Jesus made Himself REAL to me was definitely a puddle moment. Yea! You could say it was a sloppy wet kiss. When He baptized me with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Sweet, wet and sloppy!!!

Watching Ryan Raymond just trotting down the mall last Saturday holding his grandma’s hand, when he wasn’t even supposed to be here. Remembering a puddle moment nearly two years ago with an emergency phone call for prayer. Yep! Heaven Kissed Earth!!!

I have more experiences than time to share about how good God has been to me. Not because I deserved it, but because He Loves Me So Much, He Can’t Help Himself!!! This Sweet Relationship is definitely to be envied. The good news is you can have it too. He has plenty to go around. God’s Love Never Changes. There is nothing I can do to make Him love me more; nor is there anything I can do to make Him Love me less.

God’s Love is unconditional. The receiving end is quite contingent, however. We must believe the Love God has for us and receive it as a Great Gift! God delights in hearing and answering our prayers. Recently when Scott Brown won with a land slide in a northern state known for decades to be quite liberal, was another “Oh how He Loves Me Moment.” It is totally humbling to realize how much God Loves me. Let Him Love you; you can get real comfortable with it. Remember, Faith works by Love ~ Galatians 5:6.

Ephesians 2: 4 - 8 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God our Father, Who loved us and gave us everlasting consolation and encouragement and well founded hope through His grace (unmerited favor), comfort and encourage your hearts and strengthen them ~ make them steadfast and keep them unswerving ~ in ever good work and word.
