I Feel His Love

 A whole month since I have written- 

TODAY is my birthday:)  

I am 34

I love daffodils

and marigolds

and red geraniums

I love the smell of dirt 

and fresh cut grass

I love peanut butter 

and McCoy Pottery

I love everything I have ever been given.....

but....

My Best birthday present ever....

LIFE

I have a million thoughts, stories, memories, words, songs...all dancing, flowing, enveloping my mind...but I just cannot seem to get them to make sense together....more about that all later, another post :)

I cannot seem to sit and write...but Calli is telling me I have to- so here I go- guess I'll start with this...

The song, called, "I Feel His Love," by Laura Hackett, 
truly Sums up the last month for me...

I awoke this morning and it was in my mind, coming out of every cell, I could not contain it... my mouth, my spirit sang it over and over again....

Please listen to it

download it- 

play it over and over again

in your house

in your car

 I feel His Love

My faith it lifts 
the weight of pain 

from lonely and mistaken days ...

Of hiding behind deep dark clouds 

of worthlessness 
and selfish pride

My faith is my belief in truth 

that God above 
loves me and you 

And gave us freedom, 

gave us life

 to walk in love 

through Jesus Christ 

I am confident 

that neither life or death 

Can keep me from the love of Christ 

Can keep me from the love of Christ 

And though I cannot see 

still my heart believes 

And I am filled 

with joy inexpressible 

I feel His love 

welling up on the inside of me 

All those years bound in chains 

He is setting me free 

His love goes deeper than the pain that I feel 

His love is stronger than depression or fear

It is greater
It's stronger

 “…whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory…” -1 Peter 1:8 

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 8:38-39 

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” -John 7:38 

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. -Hebrews 11:6 

 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. -Romans 15:13
