I truly love how much raw emotion is in this video. Read the verses, they are just wonderful. The song is about someone who is seeking God. We all need God, but sometimes we stray away. Let me repeat that WE stray away. God is always with us, it is us who wander away. Even through our mistakes and through turning away, God is faithful.
Then the second part is about how God is saying He will love you no matter what. There are 4 kinds of love in the Greek language: storge (store-gay) is the love of a parent to their child; eros (air-ohws) a sexual love; Phileo (Fil-lay-oh) is the love between friends; Agape (uh-gop-ay) unconditional love. Only God can give unconditional love.
1st Corinthians 13:8 says, "love never fails." and Lamentations 3:22 says, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail." Lord is not talking about Voldemort (oops, did I say the forbidden name...kinda like Macbeth.) Lord is talking about God. God's love is never-ending, it is so hard for us to comprehend. He is our father. Fatherly love is pretty much the closest you can humanly get to agape love. Speaking of fatherly love, if you have 10 minutes check out this video:
There is nothing you can do to make God love you less. Just a reminder.
Quick note: that is a picture of my sharpie tattoo on my wrist. Design adapted from Danielle Freiermuth and tattoo project credits go to Kate Rabago. It means his love is never ending (infinity sign) and the cross is a reminder of how he loved me so much he sent his son to die for my sins so I wouldn't be condemned (john 3:16.)
Your sharpie tattoo was the inspiration for my real tattoo:)
