[obviously] Jars of Clay - Weighed Down
I shall directly quote what i read on www.songmeanings.com when i looked up the song which has part of its lyrics in the title of this blog.
""When love becomes a delicate display" Many believe that love for God is best shown in weekly practices and ceremonies. This line speaks against that, suggesting that love is instead something different; it is wild, it is unpredictable, it is passionate. Love cannot be tamed to one hour long service in a week. It can't be forced into our altar calls or modern worship services either. Love is a lifestyle that will affect every aspect of your life. "
I shall add on to that.
Love is so much more than feelings. Emotions.. or pictures. Its sad to see how low we've rated love to be... how we've placed love in a shelf and sold it in a discount-bargain shop. Love is underrated.
As ive read once in someone's signature... "Since when did Love not last?"
Love is what will make ubelievers believe and come to Christ without us.. His Church.. His People... His Remnant (to make it sound more frank e. peretty-wise if you wish) needing to even preach. God Himself will teach them... God Himself will show them.
"This is the brand-new covenant that I will make with Israel when the time comes. I will put my law within them—write it on their hearts!—and be their God. And they will be my people. They will no longer go around setting up schools to teach each other about God. They'll know me firsthand, the dull and the bright, the smart and the slow. I'll wipe the slate clean for each of them. I'll forget they ever sinned!" God's Decree." Jeremiah 31:33,34
God cant be put into a box.
As David.. sometimes i pray and ask God to show His power and make all those who laugh and joke at His Word shut up and realize that He's Big and Strong and True. But He's patient.. He reminds me. I'm living proof of that patience.
Anyway I will not get off subject.
God is real. If anyone reads this who has the impression that God is like a reaaallly really old man who's sitting in a big shiny Throne and is just too tired to even move.. that He just looked down and frowns at us, poor humans who never understand Him anyway.
well... NO!! He is ALIVE. He is TRUE. He is WORKING IN THE LIVES OF HIS CHILDREN. He is not ASLEEP BUT KEEPS AWAKE. His eyes are on US. He loves us tenderly and sent His Son for us to be able to see Him.
Let go of all your preconceptions of Him. He already let go of all the preconceptions other people have made on you. Like the above verses say... He will FORGET our sins and let us be new!
Would a porcelain ornament have such effectiveness? If love is broken easily.. as people consider it to be.. then it wouldnt be able to make anything stand on its feet. But He does. He is alive and He's got enough to make every feet on the eath stand up and every eye look back at Him.
Its Love that changes us. Its Love [Jesus] that makes us whole. Its Love that fills us when we're empty. only Love can forgive sins...
aaah Love is more than just lovely.
