Love Fearlessly : An Everlasting Love

An Everlasting Love

I love being loved. Victor Hugo, a man whose words have filled many pages of my quote book (though he known for far greater things than that!), once said, “The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” How lucky am I then, that I am a daughter of God and have this love! Jeremiah 31:3 says, “I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” Those first words bring such a beautiful joy to my soul! I have loved you with an everlasting love! And while the second part brings great joy to me too; this knowledge of knowing that His faithfulness to me will continue, I am also convicted of what that should cause me to do. I mean the acknowledgement of this kind of love has to stir up some kind of response. And as I let the knowledge of this love really settle in, I realize the freedom it brings me. Freedom from all hopelessness, worry, stress, and just so much more; just the fact that a being capable of this kind of love exists, brings so much hope, courage, and joy.

Majesty

Here I am, humbled by your majesty,
Covered by your grace so free.
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man,
Covered by the blood of the lamb.

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice.

Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands

Here I stand humbled by the love that You give,
Forgiven so that I can forgive.
So here I stand,
Knowing that I am Your design,
Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrife.

Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands
Majesty
Majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your Majesty

Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.

Quotes, lyrics, and dialogue from my favorite movies!

I love poetry with brilliant rhymes,

And songs that draw me in

With clever opening lines

I love rainy Sunday afternoons

Being kissed by sun,

And dreaming under the moon

The way the ocean feels at high tide,

The gentle stillness of midnight, Oh I-

I love the way You are so good to me,

I love the way You're so inspiring,

I don't know how You love me like You do,

But I love You.

I love all the signs of city life,

And marvel at the way

The world just hurries by

I love breathing in the mountain air,

Climbing to the top,

And finding that You're there

Catching glimpses of Your mysteries,

I find Your fingerprints on everything

What I mean

I hear Your music everywhere,

So gentle, yet so strong,

Your melody floats on the air,

And every time I find You there,

I've got to sing along

-Ginny Owens

(I love the way)

but still I can do something;

and Because I cannot do everything

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
