The Color of Love

Sweet goodness.

Pondering His love today.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, 

that we should be called children of God!  

And that is what we are!

1 John 3:1a

Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have summoned you by name;

you are mine.

Isaiah 43:1b

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,

for His compassions never fail.

Lamentations 3:22

...for Your love is ever before me,

and I walk continually in Your truth.

Psalm 26:3

Red. The color of His love.

We Will Be His Love

Soon, very soon, I will be traveling to a far off place (Uganda, East Africa-to be exact) with these women.  We will be opening our hearts to what the Lord wants to show us.  Most likely, our hearts will be broken.

Broken to minister.  

God takes our broken hearts and heals them.  He showers us with mercy and grace.  He shows us what needs to be done.  He then sends us out to be His instrument of healing to others.  

Showering mercy and grace.  

Unknowable without first being broken.  

Incapable without experiencing His healing.  

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,

because the Lord has anointed me

to preach the good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion-

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.

Isaiah 61:1-3a

We have received His love.  We will be His love.
