"I love you" - powerful words

So I got caught watching some romantic comedy on TV and then fell into the "aww, love is lovely" frame of mind. If someone loves you, it's as if your belief in yourself trebles and your strength to carry on doing the hard things of life is given a massive boost. Love is incredible. Love gives joy to hard work.

I had an incredible week. I think I have a better grasp on life now and the deal with love. My hard work is no longer hard work... there is great joy now. Though I'm not in love with anyone, I have rediscovered God's love. In a way that I previously haven't known.

Where it hasn't been good for so long, it is.

Keith Green - When I Hear The Praises Start



My son, My son, why are you striving
You can't add one thing to what's been done for you
I did it all while I was dying
Rest in your faith, my peace will come to you
For when I hear the praises start
I want to rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and you know me
To Me you're only holy
Nothing that you've done remains
Only what you do for Me
My child, My child, why are you weeping
You will not have to wait forever
That day and that hour is in My keeping
The day I'll bring you into Heaven
For when I hear the praises start
My child, I want to rain upon you
Blessing that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are My child and you know me
To me you're only holy
Nothing that you've done remains
Only what you do in Me
My precious bride, the day is nearing
When I'll take you in My arms and hold you
I know there are so many things that you've been hearing
But you just hold on to what I have told you
For when I hear the praises start
My bride, I want to rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are My child, and you know Me
To me you're only holy
Nothing that you've done will remain
Only what you do for me



When my net connection is better, I'll link these songs up. :)
