How He Loves : A Song Story from john mark mcmillan on Vimeo.
What a magnificent experience to begin to understand God's love. Well, maybe not understand it, but be able to feel it. There is something so moving about the way John Mark and his band worship with these people. They completely let go off all of their anger and tribulations, give it all to God, and allow Him to take over their lives. This sounds so simple, yet why is it so incredibly difficult? While it may be trying at times to fully allow God control your life, He desires to do so. Just hand Him the reigns and He will gladly take them. Know that in the midst of your deepest, most hurtful place God still loves you no matter what the circumstance. He is the only One that knows exactly what you need. If we could try to imitate Christ's love what a better world we would live in.
It only takes one person to make a difference.
Try imitating God's love this week. See what happens. It could change the world.
If you need a little more help, refer to the infamous children's song, "Jesus Loves Me." We all know the words.
"Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
It sounds so simple, yet we continuously forget its meaning. Take time to reflect on these words as well as the one's from John Mark's song "How He Loves." See how God speaks to you through them.
Love willingly. Love joyfully. Love generously.
"But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back." Luke 6:24-30
