"God has written the Romance not only on our hearts but all over the world around us. What we need is for Him to open our eyes, to open our ears that we might recognize his voice calling to us, see his hand wooing us in the beauty that quickens our hearts.
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
-Dan Fogelberg, 'Longer'"
This is such a good thing to always remind ourselves of. When I read it tonight, it gave me the goosebumps and a big huge smile (one of those ones that couldn't get any bigger). Just to remember how much He loves us, nothing can ever surpass it or take its place!!! Who else would send their only son to endure their own wrath; not for himself, but all for us wreched unworthy sinners, so that we may be seen as perfect in the eyes of our Father? No one! It's that simple. 'There is no one like Him and there will never be anyone like Him....'
