"I've always loved You" Advent Day 2- Waiting in love


"I've always loved you"
- Third Day

December 2, 2014


I can't think of a better song to help us keep our focus on His love today:) Love this one from Third day:)

Advent

Today's focus is Creation. Genesis 1. The beginning of the perfect love story written about us and for us. To show us just how much God thought of us and loves us. 


 First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don’t see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss. Genesis 1:1-2

One of my favorite passages in the bible.. God creates all we see and don't see out of nothingness.. out of a bottomless pit.. out of emptiness and inky blackness. 

Don't you feel sometimes like this could describe the life your living now?

If so.. He's brooding over your life just waiting to make something wonderful of it.

His heart.. His love broods over your life, your heart. He is waiting to create.. He is waiting to make new life. He is love and it's active in your life. 

Just open the eyes of your heart and see
See Him brooding
See Him smiling 
See Him loving

He created us for His pleasure.. 
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.- Revelation 4:11

He created us to bring Him pleasure.. Wow!! 
Think about that..
He didn't create us 1st to be His Doers
He didn't create us so He could keep tabs on our wrongs

He created us because we bring Him pleasure:) He loves us
We must know this before anything else:)
This is what real love is.. 

 Love never gives up. 
Love cares more for others than for self. 
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. 
Love doesn't strut
Doesn't have a swelled head
Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," 
Doesn't fly off the handle, 
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, 
 Doesn't revel when others grovel, 
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
 Puts up with anything, 
Trusts God always, 
Always looks for the best, 
Never looks back, 
But keeps going to the end. 
Love never dies. 

Today lets focus on Love.. 
This is what Jesus showed us while He was here on earth:)
