God’s Love Song to You
Did You Know That God’s Love Song Was Written For Us?
Are you listening?
It’s an incredible truth that humbles me every time I think about it. The lyrics of a beautiful love song are right there in the pages of your Bible.
When I open Scripture, I find words of historical significance – not just about the events that happened way in the distant past, but prophetic words defining what will happen in our future. That’s His redemptive love for us. He loves us enough to tell us how we can know and spend our eternity with Him.
There are also words about wisdom, having a servant’s heart, forgiveness, and grace – virtues that are often forgotten in this world of distractions we’re living in.
The Bible rightly reminds us of His judgment. Although we don’t always understand His timing and we may not witness His justice personally, God promises to punish unrepentant sinners.
Why would anyone turn away or deny His gift of grace?
You May Think It’s Too Late to Turn Your Life Towards Him
It’s not too late. No, not ever, for as long as you have a breath in your body.
God is a loving Father, Who will forgive you if you truly repent when you sin and open your heart to receive His grace.
He knows you and He knows me…by name.
How incredible is that?
He knew our names before we were even born. That’s how big and omniscient God is.
God’s Words Can Speak to Your Heart
Do you have a favorite Bible verse?
Is there a certain verse you turn to when you need encouragement or a reminder of God’s promises?
Those are words to His love song, for you.
He wants a relationship with you. He doesn’t need us, but we need Him desperately.
I love to hear from friends which Bible verse speaks to them the most. Here’s one from Russell C. who lives in Seattle, Washington.
It’s really beautiful and you’ll find it in Zephaniah 3:17, ESV –
*The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
Here’s why this verse in particular has spoken to Russell’s heart:
“This is usually my favorite verse because it is a clear indication of the creative and non-generic nature of Father’s love towards me individually. He has written a song, about me, and sings it over me to rejoice in what He has created and in my potential. It has long been my goal to learn this song, to sing it with the Father, and to totally agree with His opinions and His vision for me.”
God’s Vision For Our Lives
I think about that verse also and it gives me a lot of peace. God created Heaven and Earth and yet He knows each one of us individually.
Think about the last time you went to a concert. Remember that huge crowd of people in the audience?
God can pick you out of that crowd in the twinkling of an eye. That’s how powerful God is.
Let’s go bigger.
Think of every man, woman, and child in this great big world we live in. God still knows you personally (in this whole world full of people) and He knows your heart.
How amazing is that?
Now that’s a love song worth sharing.
