Wow – what a crazy few weeks – sorry for the lapse in posts; I should be getting back on track soon 
.
These words and song by Brandon Heath really have come alive to me these past two weeks as I have thought/experienced a few things:
- a valentines weekend with three little miracles, and my wonderful bride
- the pain of revisiting the tragedies of bonded slave labor, infanticide, and seti in India as I prepared and gave a Colloquium on my Justice trip to India with Jack Magruder (more of that coming BTW – later post)
- as I contemplate the value of greenLockers to impoverished people here. . . and around the world
- hearing about the trajedgy of a family member’s death in my student’s prayer requests this week. . . in 3 different families
- that God truly loving others through me - requires my sacrifice . . . of something – time, money, resources, convenience, comfort, etc…. but, it is worth it!
- as thousands of people lose their jobs
- watching the ultrasound of my next child. . . Dane Justice. . . and being so proud of my wife!
- as I revisit the revolutionary idea of loving other people first. . . before judging them
God’s love NEVER fails. . . it is a promise. . . and one that I desperately need to be reminded of sometimes.
Here are the words by Brandon Heath:
Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most
Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside
Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you
Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time
Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you
When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this
Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life
Love is the river than flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you
Here is him singing it
