How He Loves Us

"O how He loves us so. O how He loves us. How he loves us so." Chris Tomlin

Every time I meet with Kevin for discipleship, I am challenged to be less prideful. Today, I was telling him that I wish one of my friends realized just how much Our Father loves her, and he asked if I even realized how much the Father loved me. Wow. Definitely took me back a little bit. I feel really loved for sure. I feel like Jesus' love is so satisfying. I love to soak it up. But, still I have so much to learn about how great His love for me is. If I really understood His love for me, I would be sharing it with all my friends. I definitely have a lot to learn about His love for me.
Isaiah 26.. These chapters now are just sooo full of wonderful-ness.. love it.
Summary- singing about how great salvation is now and in the end!
My take- just gonna do a little run down of a few of the verses I particularly love
v. 8: "O Lord, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name..." Again, I'm not so good at waiting, but this again assures me that waiting has its rewards. I love the wording of the second part of this. I want that to be my desire every second of the day. That word desire just makes me think it is this deep longing for Christ, and I love that. I have a deep need for Christ.
v. 12b: "For You have also done all our works in us." I feel like the Lord little by little has been showing me the validity of this verse in my life. The only good that comes from me is from Christ because Christ is the only good in the world. All good comes from Christ. I need to constantly reminded of this because many times when I do anything good, my immediate reaction is to think I am just really awesome. I am slowly training myself to remember that God is that one that gave me that and that He is the awesome one for blessing me with awesome things.

Lord, let me continue to be in awe of your love for me. Let your love continue to transform my life and the way I love others. Thanks for loving me perfectly.
