Unfailing Love





Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.    Psalms 107:21






One thing we can always thank God for is that his love never fails.   

We can hold the door for someone.  

We can make them dinner.  

Maybe we can bring someone a steaming hot cup of coffee.  

We may bite our tongue so that we do not hurt them.  

We can speak words of affirmation over them.  

Perhaps we can choose to put others ahead of ourselves.  

All of those things are great.

But it may not cause someone to return our love.  

We live in an imperfect world, 

and even though we can try our hardest to love others, it may fail. 

But God’s love is perfect and can never fail. 

His passion for us is unconditional. 

He doesn’t like some more and some less. 

He loves us when we disappoint him. 

He loves us even when we are in sin and separated from him. 

He chose to care about the one who betrayed him, 

and the ones who yelled crucify him. 

He loves the thief and the evangelist the same. 

Completely, to the very end. 

That’s perfect love.  

I am amazed and grateful for the love God gives. 

It makes even our worst days better and or best days great.


Before I spoke a word
You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me

Before I took a breath
You breathed your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me

The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down
Fight 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still you give yourself away
The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God

When I was your foe
Still your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me

When I felt no worth
You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me

The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
It chases me down
Fight 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still you give yourself away
The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

There's no shadow you won't light up
Mountain you won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall you won't kick down
Lie you won't tear down
Coming after me

The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
It chases me down
Fight 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still you give yourself away
The overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God

Thank You God For Turning Our Ashes into Beauty

There are tragedy and sadness in everyone's life, No one is exempt. Yet, in the midst of the hurt and pain, God is there. He takes the things that hurt us and make us sad and turns them into things are beautiful. The death of my mother  was a tragedy to my dad. However, because of that tragedy, my dad began to see his need for God. In his brokenness, he found a God that could make him whole.  God turned his ashes into beauty. My dad, in turn, taught me to love God.   I am blessed to know God as my savior because of my dad. God also blessed me with a lovely step-mom Life is harsh at times, and many things are sad,  Yet, if we let him, he will take our ashes and make them into a work of art.   He delights in making the ash heaps of our life beautiful.   When we are broken, God is near, and where there is sorrow, he will turn it into dancing.   Thank you, God, F...

Rest For Your Soul

Tonight was such a beautiful sunny night that I decided to go for a walk and enjoy the warm summer sun before another wave of rain hits.  As I cranked up my music and headed out.  I could not help but praise God for the area in which I live.   I, quite literally, live 5 minutes from a small town.   If I want to walk, I can walk down deserted country roads without driving at all.  Yes, I am incredibly blessed.  I saw baby bunnies eating grass by the edge of the road and talked with the most friendly Jersey cows.  They always walk over to the edge of the fence as I walk by nodding their heads in greeting.   There was a deer, in a hurry to catch up with his “deer” friends I suppose.  There were daisies and buttercups, apple trees by the edge of the road and a creek that floods at least once during the spring.  I also occasionally see a very friendly donkey and a few horses who always come to the edge of the fence hoping I have sugar for...

Speak Christ In Your Actions

Every day the situations we are put in define what we really believe.  Sometimes how I respond to the irritations that life throws at me, sometimes daily, is critical.   I work in food service.  I love it.  It puts me in a position to see a variety of different in a day. One thing I especially love is watching their reactions and responses to little things. I have seen people upset because there was .01 more than they asked for. I have seen little children holding out their hands for popcorn chicken as their parent walks by.  I have been yelled at and made to feel less than human because an order was missed.  I have also watched a nicely dressed lady show a ton of class when soda shot all over her.  She just laughed and declared, “Guess I need a shower now.”  She could have been angry and upset but instead she chose to laugh and “let it go, let it go” as the song says. Most of the time it serves a great reminder for me to watch my attitude...
