My heart Desires Strange and Mysterious Things

Set me as a seal upon your heart,

As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
Jealousy as cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
A most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.

Do I understand my heart? No. Only one does, and it's not me. Am I ok with that? Yes. I actually prefer it. Because now I have the pleasure of discovering and learning about my own heart, a masterpiece created by the most perfect and beautiful of all beings. I have many passions, dreams, hopes, ideas, longings....mm. Give me Jesus, please. Of everything I want, they all pale in comparison to how much I want to know my Papa.

You know simple things about his love make me cry. Like this Jon Foreman song, Your Love Is Strong.

"Heavenly Father, you always amaze me

Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need to live through today
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window the birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
Invade my heart, invade this broken town
The kingdom of the Heavens is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself to buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons"

Just how could I not tear up being reminded of how strong the love of the Lord is? I mean really. Such a good, good, good God! And he loves me. He really loves me.
