I heard/sang this song for the first time at IV on Friday night. It hit me hard. I've found that recently it has been so easy for me to forget Christ's love for me. I've been struggling with the concept that he wants ME, that he desires ME, that he wants a relationship with ME.
Our God is a jealous God and he doesn't like things that distract our attention from him. Recently, I feel like God has been showing me that he will take things out of my life if they are taking me away from him. It's hard. Especially when you feel like those things in your life are good things, or beneficial. But God wants to prove to us that he has it under control and that while we think we know what we want, he truly does know.

Honestly, I want what God has in store for me. He knows what I need better than everyone even myself and I know that if I try and take things into my own hands, I'm just gonna screw them up. This song reminds me, especially now, that everything God does, he does it because he loves me. SO MUCH. He wants to bless me and make my life more. I just have to let him. I have to get hand it over and rely on the fact that we knows what he's doing.
How He Loves- David Crowder Band
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.
We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If his grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…
