He is Jealous for Me.

"He is jealous for me, loves like a hurricane, I am a tree, bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy."


Beautiful. What a beautiful song. It's one of those songs I could listen to for hours and never get tired of. Every time I hear it I can feel God's love pouring out on me.

I heard this song first back in the summer of 2009 at an IPCC teen camp, and was amazed by the lyrics. Every time I hear it I look back to that point in my life. I remember when I heard it God gave me a choice; I could listen and follow what He was telling me, or go the opposite way. ...I went the opposite way. Now that I look back at what God was so clearly telling me, I really understand that God wanted to protect me from temptation, from hurt, from everything He knew was about to be thrown at me like a fastball in a baseball game. But He still loves me. O how He loves us. O how He loved me. O how He loves me.


Now I sit here and listen to the song day after day. I sing along and can hardly begin to explain what God tells me every time I hear it. He makes it more and more clear He loves me. He makes it clear He's always loved me, and always will regardless of what I might do. Isn't that beautiful? His mercy and love are strong than anything we can possibly imagine. His love is a hurricane, His grace is an ocean.


"And I don't have time to maintain these regrets, when I think about, the way He loves us."


When I focus on God's love, I'm amazed and in awe. I want to drop everything and worship. I accept the fact that He loves me, and that there's nothing I can do to make Him love me more, and nothing I can do to make Him love me any less. What a beautiful savior.

It's time to surrender everything over to God.

Love you guys,
let me know if there's anything I can do to show you love or pray for you.
