First Love

I couldn't agree more to this when I read about "First Love" written by Dave McCasland in Our Daily Journey With God (ODJ).

There, he wrote:

God's first love - a pure, unconditional, and unlimited love. (1 John 4:19)

In contrast to God's love - "the love that often leaves us doubtful, frustrated, angry and resentful is the second love, that is to say, the affirmation, affection, sympathy, encouragement, and support that we receive from our parents, teachers, spouses and friends."

When we look for our worth and identity in human love, as wonderful as it can be, we're headed for disappointment.

Nouwen concludes: "The radical good news is that the second love is only a broken reflection of the first love, and that the first love is offered to us by a God whom there are no shadows. Jesus' heart is the incarnation of the shadow-free first love of God."

We love because He first loved us.
In God's "first love" we are secure. We're free to love and serve others.


Totally agree!! Don't you??



We have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. (1 John 4:14-15)

Musical Masterpiece

Hillsong

Have you heard of Hillsong? If you are not probably a Christian, you might not have heard of them before. (But that's not always the case as some non-christian do heard of this band)

I have been a Hillsong's fan since I listen to their songs some years ago. As always, Hillsong has a freshness to their songs that goes the distance. Their songs are upbeat and genuinely heartfelt, it's refreshing and uplifting as well.

If you ask me to pick a favorite song on all their albums, I would be hard pressed to pick one as I have heaps of favorite songs of theirs. Why so?? One word... AMAZINGNESS, that's what!! They are all amazing, inspiring and anointed, but some of the ones that stuck me the most were, "At The Cross, Worthy is the Lamb, Shout to the Lord, Mighty to Save, Here I am to Worship, Oceans Will Part, One Way Jesus, Emmanuel, One Desire, Jesus Lover of My Soul, The Power of Your Love, Through It All".

And recently, I listened to this album, "This is Our God"....I was especially drawn to "This is Our God". An amazing song that keep drawing me closer to God, beyond words where I was touched immensely by its powerful lyrics and it is just so moving. This is a song that I could play on repeat for hours on end. Definitely give it a listen for as the moment you listen, it will struck you right into your heart.

This is Our God (Lyrics)

Your grace is enough
More than I need
At Your word I will believe
I wait for You
Draw near again
Let Your Spirit make me new

Chorus:
I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of Your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By Your Spirit I am free

Bridge:
Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is Your love
Poured out for all
This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King
Rescued the world
This is our God

I am so blessed to have heard this musical masterpiece. Take a little time off from whatever you are doing and give it a listen to some of these as well:

1) You'll Come
2) You are Faithful
3) Adonai
4) Across the Earth
5) Alive in You
6) Follow the Son

There's more than these track listed above. So better still, grab their album as an introduction to it and I pray that these songs would touch your heart, remind you once again of the breathtaking wonder of the cross and that you'll be ushered into the divine presence of God wherever you are.

God Bless!!

Psalm 27:1 - The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When you look in the mirror..

So... did you take a good look at yourself in the mirror?? What do you see?? How do you see yourself??

Yesterday, I came across a blog about taking a good long hard look in the mirror and where she asked the Lord, "What do You see Lord? What do You see here that was worth keeping? What good can I be to You now?".

After reading it, I began to think and imagined how exactly the Lord sees me when He looks at me because when I look myself in the mirror, all I can see is the FLESH!!

And it struck me immediately that my Father was showing me that I should always look toward Jesus for the reflection of how I should see myself for it is only when I look at Jesus I can see the imperfections in me..where I come short of His Glory and Righteousness.

So, I prayed to Lord, "Father, You see everything about me and know everything there is to know about me. Show me how You see me through Your eyes and help me to see myself as You do so I may know Your perfect love in me and I can perfectly love others too."

As I read through "Our Daily Journey", I couldn't agree more to this when these sentences catches my attention...

"The knowledge of ourselves is only possible through our knowledge of God. He is the standard by which we can come to know who we really are. He's the only one with a STRAIGHT MIRROR."

Pray Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24

What do you see??

Take a good long hard look in the mirror. Tell me, what do you see??
