His Love NEVER fails

One of my favorite worship songs right now is "Your Love Never Fails" by Jesus Culture. The lyrics are so powerful and it is so the prayer of my heart right now. In the midst of all of life's circumstances and sadness- and all those situations we wish we could just fix... His love never fails us. What a powerful revelation. His love NEVER fails. Never is such a strong and absolute word... I am so thankful for His love and provision. Here are the lyrics.....

Your Love Never Fails

Nothing can separate-

Even if I ran away...

Your love never fails.

I know I still make mistakes-

But You have new mercy for me everyday...

Your love never fails.

You stay the same through the ages.

Your love never changes-

There may be pain in the night

but joy comes in the morning

and when the oceans rage

I don't have to be afraid

Because I know that You love me.

Your love never fails.

The wind is strong and the water's deep

But I'm not alone here in these open seas.....

'Cause Your love never fails.

The chasm is far too wide

I never thought I'd reach the other side

but Your love never fails.

You stay the same through the ages

Your love never changes.

There may be pain in the night

but joy comes in the morning.

And when the oceans rage-

I don't have to be afraid

'Cause I know that You love me.

You make all things work together for my good.

You make ALL things work together for my good.

You make all things work together for my good.

You stay the same through the ages

Your love never changes.

There may be pain in the night 

but joy comes in the morning.

And when the oceans rage-

I don't have to be afraid

'Cause I know that You love me.

Thank you Jesus for loving me that much.......

Precious Sweetness....

So, last night- the kids are all jammied up, sung to, prayed for, and cuddled up in their beds- and Miah and I are enjoying a little quiet time and a movie. Everyone has been out for about an hour, when we hear little feet scuffling down the stairs. And there is Elijah- dressed- eyes half open- stumbling towards us..... I say "Lijah... what are you doing?" He comes over by me and says "Mama, I want you." And there starts phase one of my heart just melting. I say "Why are you dressed? You should be in your jammies and in your bed...." He says "Mama, I want to lay by you." At this point, Miah leans in and Eli starts loving on him- kisses and hugs and shy smiles. I say "Eli, go get your jammies and we will help you put them on.... but then it is back to bed... Ok? I love you...." Elijah goes to get his jammies- brings them back- Miah helps him change (again)- and he sweetly says again, "Mama- I want you." And bats those mile long eyelashes of his... and throws me another of his super sweet "shy" smiles and says "I lay nice mama.... I go to sleep on your lap..." He climbs up on my lap- covers up under my blanket- snuggles up to me- tries really hard to hold his little eyelids shut........... and I'm pretty sure my heart has liquified within me.....
