Relentless

Your love is relentless
And I'm glad for it, I'm glad for it
Your love is relentless
I am glad

Your love is relentless
And if not for it, if not for it
I'd perish for sure
If not for it
~Birmingham (We Are Safe), DC*B

Lately, my Father has been reminding me of how terribly fond of me He is. How His Love is unstoppable, unchangeable, overflowing, neverending...and lots more DC*B songs, haha.

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, ²⁰ giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.~~Ephesians 5

Wow...thank you, Lord, for even more encouragement/confirmation to keep sharing Your Word - it's just the intended, natural overflow from a Spirit-filled life! =D

Recording my testimony went well - there are some pretty awesome people at McDonough Christian Church, woohoo! Of course, it's slightly varied from the massive amount of thoughts/notes that I had pulled together, but I think that's inevitable when "the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say" (Luke 12:12).
But something that God so sweetly revealed to me on the drive down there - for years, I was walking around just carrying the shield of Faith by itself...only playing defense. It's really over the past year that He has taught me how to wield the sword of the Spirit, how to play offense (take dominion) in addition to defense. Especially when you go through a season of jumping from doctor to doctor and hear all of their diagnoses - you have to know where God's diagnosis comes in and combats their opinions.
I am so grateful that we've been led to wise doctors with helpful intentions, but we still have to take what the world is saying and contrast it to what God has already said. I know that's why at 15 years old I knew meds were not the answer, but now at 20, (at least for this season) I'm getting to experience God work through medicine, as well. If nothing else, I know He's using me every single month I visit that office to simply smile at some weary people...Lord, please let it be You that they see; remind them of how much higher Your thoughts & ways are than our own.
(Also, why in the world am I still talking about my health so much? praise God, time to let my words be few..)

Let hope rise
And darkness tremble
In Your Holy Light
That every eye will see
Jesus our God
Great and mighty to be praised

Thank you Father, for having purposes that are so much bigger than me, plans that affect the lives of more people than I could ever realize...ah! thank You for keeping me in a state of continual amazement - You are worthy to be praised!
