Dance

At Bible study last Monday the host put on worship music as we gathered in the room to start. Ava danced and danced to this song, "How He Loves Us". It was so sweet. I thought, "If she only knew how much He does love her." And then I felt God tell my heart, "If YOU only knew how much I love YOU." I guess His love is far greater than any human mind can know. Child or adult, we will never wrap our minds around the depth of God's love.
Since Ava has no speech, dancing is such a beautiful way for her to express herself. I love to watch her be free and experience God through dancing.



How He Loves Us

He is jealous for me,
Loves 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.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us,
Oh! how He loves us,

Oh! how He loves us,
Oh! how He loves.

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforseen 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
