Unfailing Love

Psalm 33:18--"But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love." 

Isaiah 54:10--"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you." 


Last night, my best friend and I were praying together and just spent a lot of time thanking the Lord for who He is. And we were reading in the Psalms of God's unfailing love. And it just blows my mind!!!! I think we, in our natural minds, try to compare God's love to the love that we've received from people in our lifetime. And there is absolutely NO comparison! Because people, no matter how hard they try, can never fully love like God can. And while people's love for us can be dependant on circumstances, God's love is UNFAILING. The Bible speaks of it over and over and over again! It's absolutely incredible. Take some time to reflect on God's unfailing love. :-)

Daring to Dream

This is a song I wrote in my time with Jesus while I was in Virginia. It sums up a lot about learning to just follow Jesus and not everyone else. I didn't have a piano near me, so I haven't even started on any music for it, but I wanted to share the lyrics:

Daring to Dream
  
Verse 1:
I could blame it on everyone I know
All the expectations people put on me
I could blame it on myself, it's true
All the expectations I trapped myself in 

Pre-chorus:
How many have stopped dreaming, 
Because it's just not realistic?
And how many have thrown out,
Every vision and desire You've given?

Chorus:
I'm so tired of being bound to the ground
I'm throwing off every chain
I'm breaking free, I want to fly
I'm daring to dream again


Verse 2:
I put You in a box for way too long
Didn't see a way to make it through
Threw out every passion I ever had
To settle for a reality I never wanted


Verse 3:
Instead of following You, I followed after
Every expectation, wandering aimlessly
And I've had way too much of going nowhere
So I'm done with every expectation

Bridge:
I'm trading all I am for all of You
I'm free....... Daring to dream again
