This blog is about a love song written and sung by a non christian but I am taking it from the angle of God singing it to us :)
This song is a classic, my Dad use to always play one of his CD's in the car all the time and this was his, mine and my niece's favourite song. We thought it was a great song and could easily be changed to be sung from us to God or God to us.
I was listening to this song because I heard it come on from my Dad's computer and thought I would youtube it and find it, when I listened to it I was so touched by the words and of course the beautiful music as well.
What touches me so much is "nothing is going to change my love for you" these words reach into the depths of my heart. I really feel these words because I growing up I felt like I had to prove myself to be loved, I had the mindset of if I did something wrong like break my brothers toy by accident I wouldn't be loved by my parents anymore and this created a mindset of I had to perform for love and I wouldn't believe my parents really cared about me (even though they did and still do!) Parents aren't perfect and yeah it hurt at the time but God makes all things work out for those who love him and now I am learning that God's love is unconditional!
Unconditional means he has no conditions on his love, he doesn't care how messy we are, he doesn't care if I have cried for an hour and have snot everywhere and puffy eyes, he loves me even when I am angry, he loves me when I tell my brother to leave my room (he might not be terribly impressed by these things but he still LOVES ME!). Cause nothing is going to change his love for me.
Knowing that nothing will change his love for me has enabled me to find rest..It has given me the "ahhh I can stop trying now!"
So if anyone out there needs a deepening what God's love for you is like listen to this song, put it on repeat and pretend it is God your Daddy singing it to you :)
