Does your Love Endure?

Yesterday at church we read from Joshua 5:13-6.  About the battle of Jericho and Joshua obeying God by marking around the walls for 7 days.  Pastor Tim was saying that after Joshua was told what to do to win the battle, that the men might have questioned the marching just a bit.  But, we need to remember that often times, things don't make sense to us, but it always will work out with prayer and faith in the Lord.  We have to remember that to not ever lose faith in the Lord!

We had worship after the teaching and some of the words in these two songs were just so touching to me.  

I Breathe You in God, Brian and Katie Torwalt

The presence of the Living God
Satisfies the depths of my heart
And all of me I change when you came
And I'm led free by Your glory and grace
And I breathe You in, God
Cos You are there all around me
(repeat)

The kindness of Your love's pure light
Pierces through the darkest of all night
And everything is possible now
For God is here
And God is good

[CHORUS]
And You are good, God
For You are good to me
(repeat)

[BRIDGE]
And when I don't understand
I will choose You
(repeat)
And when I don't understand
I will choose to love You, God

And when I don't understand
I will choose You
(repeat)
And when I don't understand
I will choose to love You, God

[CHORUS]
And You are good, God
For You are good to me
(repeat)

[End]
Its my privilege
To worship You
To worship

For You are good, God
For You are good to me
(repeat)

The words in this song that seem so powerful to me are
"The kindness of Your love's pure light, Pierces through the darkest of all night, And everything is possible now, For God is here, And God is good"

"And when I don't understand, I will choose You, And when I don't understand, I will choose to love You, God" and also
"And You are good, God, For You are good to me."

The amount that God loves us is just amazing to me! It is so nice to be reminded of His great love and how good He really is!  We have to remember to be faithful and true to Him, so that He can bless us and do things that we might not understand all of the time.

The One Who Saves, Hillsong

Come join the song, lift your voice
As heaven and earth give praise
Fall to your knees, at the feet
Of the Son of The One True God
Turn from old ways, lift your eyes
For the kingdom of God is here
Open your heart, offer all
For Jesus Christ is here
Oh now

We have found our hope
We have found our peace
We have found our rest
In the One who Loves
He will light the way
He will lead us home
As we offer all
To the One who saves us

Call on the Name, that is hope
Jesus the Son of God
Lord over all, He is good
And His mercy endures
Always

His love endures
Forever His love endures
Forever His love endures
Forever and ever

And this song is the last part.   "His love endures, Forever His love endures, Forever His love endures Forever and ever."  I know being a friend, daughter, wife and mom that my love does not endure forever and ever.  I would love to say it does,  but at times, it really doesn't.  But to know that the Creator of this world, loves us always is just amazing!  No matter what we have done, or are going to do today or 10 years from now, He loves us!  FOREVER!  Do you understand that?  He loves me FOREVER!  Praise Him!

Hope you have a blessed May!

Aloha.
