falling in love

* singing with Jars of Clay right now  "I want to fall in love with You..."

   In open fields of wild flowers,

she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,

"I want to fall in love with You"

aah if only I could fall in His arms now... and NO this is not about a guy, this is about my Savior. I remember when I first understood the meaning of grace; when it first sunk in that He has saved me, Jesus has forgiven me, and He has made me holy. It was incredible to know that he took my guilt and threw it away, nailed my sin to the cross. It has been many years since then and He has proven faithful to stand by my side through this life. But sometimes you just want to fall in love again, you know what I mean? I think that is where I'm at and its wonderful. Any relationship whether friend, family, or even spouse I think goes through this, a renewing. It's an amazing time of growth, it can be painful too. In these times you realize maybe some ways you need to change or ways you let the other down, but ultimately you strengthen that bond and it grows so much deeper. Here's to prayers of always growing deeper in love with Christ.

          - Ephesians 3:14-21a

For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory…
