He♥us #1: For God so loved.. (John 3:16)

Here is the verse which is the only usable and closest definition of love; truly depicting what is it all about and signifying how far did God even go for us prized beings.

The unique death of His only Son is the one death that has brought us salvation, and back to eternal and everlasting life which was rightfully ours to begin with.

"God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was.
He came to help,
to put the world right again."

- John 3:17, The Message

For He love us [greatly and way too] much..

Loved as His child.

'How He loves us' - Kim Walker (Jesus Culture)

He is jealous for me 
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree 
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy 
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory 
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me. 
Oh, how He loves us so 
Oh, how He loves us 
How He loves us so. 

Yeah, He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves. 

So we are His portion and He is our prize, 
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes 
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking 
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest 
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way 

That he loves us, 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves 

He loves us, 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves

"SEE WHAT [an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are!

Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children;
it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter],
but we know that when He comes and is manifested,
we shall [as God's children] resemble and; be like Him,
for we shall see Him just as He [really] is.

And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him,
cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless)."

1 John 3:1-3 (Amplified)

Entrusting the Key..

"There, I did it. I entrusted the ket to my heart into God's hands. 

As I sat there alone at the kitchen table in my Singapore apartment, 

I realized the significance of what I had just done. I was saying, 

"Here you go God, take control of my love life."

Not only would this mean that I would trust Him to protect my heart and keep it safe,

but that He would be granted full access to perform "heart surgery",

preparing it to love and receive love from a spouse some day.

A spouse that He would choose."

- Ali Smith

"Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal* spirit within me."

- Psalm 51:10

Loyal is being faithful, sovereign and committed to One. 

To have my heart only focused only on Him.

---

No more games,

Time to re-focus.

---

The key to my heart has become entirely Yours.

It is no longer mine to hold.

---

For He [who knows you better than yourself] not only protects and guards your heart,

but at the right place, right time, right person,

He will know when to unguard it and let it down.

*Joyfully waiting and enjoying a Season of Intimacy with Him*

Dreams not forgotten..

God can resurrect our broken dreams.

Once was dominant, now alive after a tasteful portion of one God breath.

"Just because it has not happened in the past,

does not mean it will not happen in the future."

Christine Caine

He has turned our disappointments to reappointments.

For what He has promised,

He is faithful to see it to past in completion.

How can He ever forget our desires,

since He is the one that puts it there in the first place?

because He is the one forever holding on to them.

In His time of fulfillment, we shall soon give birth.

J., the better driver.

'Jesus, Take The Wheel' - Carrie Underwood




She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat


Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year


She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass


She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air


Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own


I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel


It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock


And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life


I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight


Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own


I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on


Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go


So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

"If we go our own way, we never get where we're going, and we pay the fare. If we go God's way, we always get there, and He pays the fare!"

"I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." God's Decree.


"For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.


Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,


So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.


Isaiah 55:8-9 (The Message)


---


His ways are definitely higher hence, He makes the better driver because He has got the better directions and control.

Not my reality but His.

when the world has given up on all opportunities and hope on you,

we need a God reality check!

living according to His word, 

we base not on man's reality but more so on God's reality which shouts:

all things are possible!

"Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

- Matthew 19:26

and since when did He say we're the ones doing the promotion?

it is not us but He who will pull it off!

*not self reliance but God reliance*

'Something In The Water' - Brooke Fraser

Do do do do do do do do do do

I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening
Il pretend that it's no thing that's skipping my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There's something in the water, that makes me love you like –

I've got halo's made of summer, rhythms made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I got crowns of words a woven each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing

Give me long days in the sun, preludes to the nights to come preludes of the mornings laying in all lazy give me something fun to do like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Oooh oooh oooh 

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, give me something fun to do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water that makes me love you like I –

Do do do do do do do

but rather Christ Himself."

- Joel Houston

So what are you waiting for?

Get in on the best!

"Keep company with God.

Get in on the best."

Holding me close, You leading the way..

'You and me' by Olivia Ong




Taking a trip down memory lane
Things have changed One thing remains
That they will always have each other
And even though those days have gone
They know here is where they belong
Theres some kinda magic in the air

Feel the warmth
That only summer breezes can bring
Sweet little notes of spring begin
Nothing to fear

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4 
Cheek to cheek
And theyre learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me

Holding her close he leading the way
Out at the park Enjoying the Day
And you can tell theyll be ok
Feel the warmth
That only summer breezes can bring
Sweet little notes of spring begin
Nothing to fear

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4 
Cheek to cheek
And theyre learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4
Cheek to cheek
And theyre learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me
To be true for you and me
To be true for you and me
You and me
You and me
