Swirling round in aimless circles
Hoping now for light or reason
Casting out in all directions
Wishing that something would be real

Giving all my hopes and dreams
All of me in hope that you might see
My love for you consumes me
Thoughts and dreams are filled with only you

You love me even when I’m weak
What do you want, what do you seek
My life? Is that what you really want?
I see it clearly, all you want is love

To love you as you love me
Can it be, that I could love you Lord?
With all of me, reserving nothing
Give every gift back to the giver

Use me Lord to show your mercy
Fill me now with your compassion
Love so overwhelming, poured out
So that I can reflect your image perfectly

Lord of all the nations, worlds controlling
The universe spins in your hand alone
Yet I your precious creation
Have gained your love so sublime

Thoughts overwhelmed and racing onward
Try to grasp the knowledge of my God
Your thoughts dwell on us all
Love perfected, given freely to me

My thoughts stray off in time and space
I pray for mercy and for grace
Poured out on those who live to serve you more
My love for those I care for
Still falls far short of your unfailing
Passion reaching out for those I cannot touch

Who are we? Amongst all the stars and galaxies and solor systems and planets in the universe, WHAT AM I?
To consider the immensity of the universe and then to realize that God is above all that; this thought is astounding. How can I compare to that? What can I do, what do I have to compare with all that? What reason in all the world is there that God would love me? It’s overwhelming. The fact of the matter is this: God does not love us because He created us, He created us because He wanted to love us, and He wanted us to be capable of loving Him back.

Love is no mere emotion. If it were, it could never be constant, or unconditional. And contrary to popular opinion, and a DCTalk song, love is not a verb. Love is a choice. While it cannot be shown except through action, it is not the action itself that is love. God loves us, and he shows it through action. The primary outlets of God’s love being grace and mercy. You don’t just love someone, you must consciously choose to love them. You may like them one day, and dislike them the next, but if you make the choice to love someone, it is not easily undone. It is not always easy, and may even be uncomfortable at times, but it is always worth it. The recipients of love will find it difficult to be anything other than grateful. If we do not love everyone, we must search deeper the heart of God. For His love is unchanging, and unconditional. The more we realize God’s love for us, the more we will be compelled to love the people around us. We will feel their needs, their sorrows, their weaknesses, and if we are not moved to tears with compassion, then something is desperately wrong with our hearts.
