Krista, I also never understood the meaning or lyrics behind this song until today. I sing this song at my church all the time. The meaning behind it is, John Mark Mcmillian wrote the song after he lost his best friend. His best friend was a youth pastor who prayed and told God he would give up his life to see movement and change in his youth group. That night his best friend died in the car accident. It is amazing how good and perfect God's timing is.
Fighting back tears at my desk today. I cannot even begin to understand how God loves me this much. This is a wonderful reminder. The Lord has allowed me to be a parent and I see such a beautiful glimpse of His love for us. The Lord loves me, he knows what is best for me, I pray I trust his choices for me.
I hear you Allison!! Sometimes during this very difficult journey I'm on I find myself questioning if God really does love me as much as He loves others. I know that's Satan whispering in my ear & I HATE that I listen! I loved the sentence, He loves us because that is just who He is. Not…He loves us because…HE JUST LOVES US! My goal for today is to truly grasp how wide & long, high & deep Christ's love is for me :) I too Allison am praying that I will TRUST & not doubt His will for me :)
May we all begin to grasp “how wide and how long and how high and how deep is the love of Christ.” Amen!!
Krista- thanks for reminding me of that song! I’m going to listen to it right now. What a powerful message it is.
I just have to share…While I was writing in my journal for today the song How He Loves by David Crowder started playing in my Pandora radio station. Until now, I never truly listened or understood the meaning behind the lyrics.
There is something about today's concept, "do you have any idea how much God loves you?", that elicits a great deal of angst for me. I ask myself the questions, why is it so hard for me to accept that? Why can't I trust that he really does love me just for who I am? The answers to those questions were right there in the Scripture reading…"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through FAITH–that you being rooted and grounded in love, may have the STRENGTH to comprehend." I am beyond grateful for this daily reminder that is growing me so deeply. Happy Thursday, ya'll! :)
