Last night, I was driving home from picking up a $35 juicer from someone on Craigslist, and the most amazing thing ever happened. I was listening to the radio and The David Crowder Band came on. The song was How He Loves. I’ve listened to the song before, I’ve even sung along but it was one of those songs that I had listened to, but I had never actually heard. The lyrics are fairly innocuous, when you’re just reading them: “Oh, He loves us, oh how He loves us…” But hearing it really, for the first time, I was struck with that simple truth. That the Lord really does love us. He loves us so much that it hurts us when we finally comprehend it. Christ loves us in a way that we can never love; not our children or our parents, not food, or drugs, or money. There is nothing that we can love more than the Christ loves us. The realization of Christ’s love was like a splinter in my heart.
How beautifully said Amanda. Haven’t heard it put any better than how you wrote. Amen daughter!
Thanks for sharing this, God is so good and sometimes we fly through life taking His love for granted. I love that God took this opportunity to shower you with His love, thanks for the reminder. I needed that.
I love that song too!! Listen to K-Love and hear it all the time. That song stays stuck in my head. He does love us, so so much!

Hello girl! Well today was a very trying time we have to move again! Yes the joys of military living we will still be in the same city but just a better place.I sometimes come to your blog just to see Gods goodness thru your family he blessed you with. Today he really came thru for us we were at the end of a road and wasnt sure which way to go and then he stepped in we found a much bigger place and it was affordable it was amazing. I sometimes cry cause I feel like Iask God for so much but then he speaks to me and reminds me he already knew I was gonna ask him and its like if he puts his arms around me and tells me its ok just like the dad I never had. Love him love you hope your well
