stir our affections for you, Jesus

I don’t truly don’t know if anyone reads this but nonetheless, oh how I love writing!

Today I visited another church here this cold dreary morning. I enjoyed it! I’m catching the last part of the series the church is doing based on the “Love Dare” from the movie “Fireproof”. Too bad, and too bad Tony isn’t here to listen with me, it would have been good for our upcoming marriage! But oh how good our Lord is! Here it is, almost April!! Not counting this upcoming week, I have 3 full weeks of school left before finals! I prayed this semester would go by fast, and it surely is flying by.

God has been so good to me, this weekend I’ve enjoyed his earthly creations with amazing weather, a couple of storms, and listening to Shane and Shane and Phil Wickham who have the blessed ability to be able to write about it with such beautiful words! I’m listening to a live worship version for “It Is Well” (which happens to be my favorite hymn) that Shane and Shane are leading, and in his opening his prayer he prays that the “stir our affections for you, Jesus”.

Stir our affections for you, Jesus

I love that! Because so many times we become sucked into a day-to-day rut, and once a week find our affection and our praise for God, and really it should be an every minute, daily, plea! I’m writing this and smile because I feel the guilt coming on of not accomplishing this either, but we are human, but we are human that serves a good and gracious and forgiving Father. The creator of the EARTH, the Lord of the NATIONS, who sits on his throne in Heaven and has made us a room in that most perfect place, wants a relationship with ME, with YOU, with US, His children.

So I continue to encourage you, everyday, stir your affection for our most amazing God, and let Him love you with that most perfect love.
