How He Loves
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
"How He Loves" has become my song of choice when I crank things up in my class in the morning before school. My favorite version of it is sung by Kim Walker. When "The Pulse" performed this song at our first "C-4 Concert," Steven's back-up vocals really came through loud and clear. I love the lyrics:
"He is jealous for me - loves like a hurricane - I am a tree."
It communicates to me how God always makes the first move to us. He moves towards us with the amount of passion generated by the emotion of jealousy in the form of a hurricane. I think that sometimes in the "act of doing church," we forget about a loving, jealous God who desires a relationship with us. "Us" despite the fact that He and each of us individually know only too well our faults and the sin that should otherwise keep us separated from God.
Remember this my friends as you go into the weekend, He is jealous for you and me. Rejoice and take heart.

Listened to the song ... it would take some "growing" on me. However, I'd never heard of playlist.com so that was a good thing to discover! Have a good weekend in your yard. We'll be in ours, getting it ready for an invasion in a few weeks from a representation of the "Florida Mafia." (I think it was Kathleen B. who gave you all that moniker.)
jel - been there, "typeed" that. :)
Greg - You might be showing your age. :)
Ah, the Florida Mafia will be coming expecting our usual treatment or else!! :) I'll miss seeing the Beach Crowd when we come.
