Oh wow, haven't heard this song, "Why Should He Love Me So?" in many a moon....then all of a sudden today it started traveling in my head and down to my heart.
I'll have to say it didn't put me on one of those trips where I feel like a "worm", not worthy of love of any kind from anybody for any reason. It did start me to thinking that it really is an amazing mystery how God, my Abba Father, could love me so much. That got me to remembering that classic of Dottie Rambo's...
"He left the splendor of Heaven, knowing His destiny
'twas the lonely hill of Golgatha, there to lay down His life for me...
If that isn't love, the ocean is dry, there're no stars in the sky, and the sparrow can't fly
If that isn't love, then Heaven's a myth, there's no feeling like this, it that isn't love"
It's now floating around in my head and heart that I don't have to dig and dig and dig to know why He'd love me so....He is just that...HE IS LOVE. He loves me because that's what He does...no, what He is!!!!!
The act of being courteous takes very little effort. I’m one of the worst to get involved in what is going on at that moment in my life, probably trying to figure it out, fix it, find a solution….you know, MOVE ON WITH IT. All the while, I frequently miss what’s happening right in front of my face. When we stop and think about it, a lot of us probably come across as disinterested, impatient with, and/or bored by what others are saying. In politeness we nod, maybe touch an arm as if to say, “I hear you.” I know a lot of the time we’re sincere, but more often than not, we’re probably thinking about the next thing on our own agenda forgetting what we’ve heard only five minutes later. If I’m thinking about this, the light bulb may be going off in your head, too. Maybe all of us can put forth a more concerted effort to be effective listeners and be as truly attentive as we try to make people believe we are.
Beautiful Ann! Absolutely Beautiful! Thank You for sharing!
