Your Love Is Extravagant
I was driving from Home 2 to Home 1 today and as I listened and wailed to music to keep myself awake, a song came on that I have recently fell in love with. It took me into a place with God where I just worshipped Him and sang all of my praises to Him. The song is Your Love is Extravagant by Casting Crowns. Here are the lyrics:
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel like moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place
Your love is extravagant
Spread wide in the arms of Christ
is the love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known
You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again
Your friendship, it is intimate. That's so true, it's what we all strive for as Christians to have that intimate relationship with God. It just reminded me that if we let Him, he comes flooding in. He wants us to curl up on His lap like we're little kids. He wants us to have the heart of a child. That's something I long for, for things to be simple. Children believe everything you tell them. 'God is good' . A child would never doubt that, if that's what it was taught. We, as adults, have wandering minds, we question, we doubt, it's never simple.
No earthly thing can love us like He can. Love that covers sin. That's huge! We won't find anything like that anywhere else. Today, was one of the many days God captured my heart. Just like every girls' dream man, he whispfully swept me off my feet and carried me around swaying back and forth as I gazed into His eyes.
Needless to say, it was a good drive home. His love is extravagant, like nothing else. He's the one that makes my heart skip a beat.

Wow Megan.... thats all I can really say... that was definitely something I needed to read
I love you so much!
I really love that song as well... I heard it for the first time in 1999 on Darrell Evan's CD.
Your right about us being like little children. Jesus said something like 'unless you become like these children you will never enter the kingdom of God.' All too often our "grown up" faith prevents us from experiencing God in awe and wonder, and taking His love for what it is... real. With no strings attached.
Thanks Meg
Yeah, it reminds me of the time I took my friend from Germany to West Edmonton Mall. We take that place for granted cause we see it all the time. He was just completely in awe of everything. That's exactly how we should be with God. Completely amazed.
That reminds me of the first time I brought my friend from Mars to earth. I got him there on Air Miles. He was totally amazed at everything. He thought it was funny that there was nobody with green skin.
Brian Tanner... oh, geez (a megan word). I thought about the name and seem to recall that he was the kid of the ancient TV show "Alf". Whoever left that comment did research or is really old.
Uh, yeah. Definately old. Brian Tanner. Haha, Alf was a funny show, but SO old!
Okay, it's not THAT old.
Just beautiful.
