on repeat this week: Nobody Loves Me Like You
…so yeah, there’s a whole lot of us who are hurting over broken hearts, God, and we’re broken over hurting bodies & hard decisions & big messes & then go ahead and throw any of the headlines in, & frankly, it’s easy to be just undone around here on earth.
And Your nail scarred hands cup our faces tonight & You point to the Cross,
The Cross that redeems the rejected & remakes the undone,
the Cross that is Your way of mending our broken hearts
by breaking Your heart in two & saying: “Me too.”
No matter how we don’t understand the why of suffering,
we know that the God who went to the Cross,
He knows suffering & He suffers with us. We never suffer alone.
Whatever mess I am in… I can exhale relief: I have a Messiah who meets me in it, won’t leave me in it, and will carry me through it!
There is never, ever, ever anything to ever fear:
Our. God. is. Here.
We never cry alone.
Never, ever alone.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
