How He loves us.

Oh how He loves us Oh.
Oh how He loves us.
How He loves us all.


We sang this song in church on Sunday and its words hit me like never before.  Everytime I sing this song I am so amazed by Gods love for me.  I want to sing this in grateful praise that God would love me.  I am a follower of Christ, I strive to live like Him daily, but I will always fall short.

As we were singing my mind went to our little foster boy and again, I was hit with the gratefulness that He loves this little boy so much and that He has a plan for his life.  This boy who has done nothing to deserve the life he has been handed, and that God would pick him up and love him.  He is His creation.  We do not know if this little guy will stay in our home for much longer, but I know without a doubt that His Heavenly Father loves Him and will care for him no matter where he ends up spending his earthly days.

Then the Lord brought me to my knees.  I love her too.  I heard the words so clearly while the song played.  The woman who put her son in the position to be placed in our home.  The one who made the wrong choices and cant seem to make the right ones.  The one who is lost and doesn't seem to want to be found.  I love her.

I cannot even fathom that love.  A love that can cover the span of all those people and love them the same.  She is His creation.  That little boy is His creation.  I am His creation.  I truly pray that I can look at others and see Christ's love for them, to see them as dearly loved.  The only thing that sets me apart is Christ - nothing about me - just Him.

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption be the grace in His eyes.
