His love is mighty yet tender, fierce yet gentle. He is a Conqueror, but also a Lover. His delight is in mercy, and His heart is full of grace.
God is a selfless Sovereign, and His glory shines brightest in His humility. We cannot comprehend it, as our flesh desires glory of self, yet our God has taught us that true love is giving ourselves away.
True love is being a servant of all.
His heart is infinite, and those who are His children will never know His absence. In love, He teaches and leads and guides; He seeks and saves and sanctifies.
He is the Good Shepherd, and He laid down His life for His sheep, that they might know Him, be with Him, and forever adore Him.
God in Christ; what magnificent love that leaves the Throne of Glory to suffer death for His people! He has promised eternal life for those whom He loves, and He lavishes His radiant love upon them.
What splendor adorns this Almighty God, that He hears - and moves - at the prayers of His people? What dignity does He bestow upon sinners to so clothe them in His own righteousness?
This glorious God, for all that He has done, is doing, and has promised to do, how can I not stand in awe of Him and fall down upon my knees? He has the power to snuff out my life, and yet, He does not. He gives me another day and says, "Come to Me and I will give you rest."
What sweet cordial is this? What great promise? In this world of evil and sin, He is our Safe Harbor, our Fortress, our Shield. Our cloud by day; our fire by night.
O, Lord Christ, come and love me. Wash me, clothe me, and present me to Yourself without spot or wrinkle. Chase all other gods from my heart and give me one resounding song: CHRIST!
Always fill these eyes with love for You. Fill me up with fullness of Your Spirit. Yeshua! I want no other love in my heart or my life than love for my God and His magnificent Love for me.
You are so great and I am not, but my being is laid bare before You; You can see it all. Blow on the ember of my love, until it roars forth with a most vehement flame. If it should consume me, then so be it, for I would rather journey to Glory on a fiery chariot than be swept away on a chariot of Pharaoh.
Plunge me to the depths and soar me to the heights of Your love. Let me know You in Your majesty and keep my eyes focused on You. Love me and lead me, great God of my heart.
Come, Thou King of Kings, and crown Your heart with mine. Take all of me, for I will have no other gods before You. Words cannot adequately express my love for You. Come and see! Open my soul and look, precious Lord. It is not much, but it is true, and it is Yours.
