Times

Two of my favorite verses are..
Romans 8:38-39 "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord".

Ephesians 3: 18-19 "And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God".

They are my favorite for so many reasons..i love them so much we used them in our wedding. And they are not your typical wedding verses. I have been listening to this song by Tenth Avenue North called "Times" and the words are so simple..but they remind me of everything these verses mean. It's so beautiful to me that God is so detailed. He gave us so many examples. He didn't just say.."you should know how deep My love is". He didn't say "nothing at all can separate us from Him" the end. He doesn't give us a chance to say our "maybe this can" or "what if". He made Himself quite clear...and I'm happy He did.

Check it out....

Times...
I know I need You I need to love You I love to see You, but it's been so long. I long to feel You I feel this need for You. And I need to hear You, is that so wrong?

Now You pull me near You. When we're close, I fear You. Still I'm afraid to tell You, all that I've done. Are You done forgiving? Oh can You look past my pretending? Lord, I'm so tired of defending, what I've become..What have I become?

I hear You say, "My love is over. It's underneath.It's inside. It's in between. The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel. The times that you question, 'Is this for real?' The times you're broken.The times that you mend. The times that you hate Me, and the times that you bend.

Well, My love is over, it's underneath. It's inside, it's in between.

These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks. The times that you feel like you're falling from grace. The times you're hurting. The times that you heal. The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal. The times of confusion, in chaos and pain. I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame. I'm there through your heartache. I'm there in the storm. My love I will keep you, by My power alone.

I don't care where you fall, where you have been. I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."
