The Sound of Love’s Surrender

Romans 8:31-39 TM
^31-39 So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.

None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

The Sound of Love’s Surrender
Because of the way that JESUS our Master HAS EMBRACED US – we are convinced –
 
His Embrace of Love that will not let us go –
            Who could pull His Arms from bring wrapped around us?
            What circumstances would cause Him to let go?
            Why did He first embrace us?
                        Did we earn it?
                        Were we good enough, holy enough?
 
It is WHO HE IS, and He had us in His Heart before the foundations of time
When we came forth, HE set His Gaze upon us and when we said yes to His Love and invited Him into our hearts and were born again the old man was gone and new creation man came forth.
 
He wrapped us in His Eternal Arms of Love & His Divine Embrace and declared us HIS!!
 
The veil torn forever at the Cross to the Holy of Holies.
Hope was restored – we could become HIS OWN sons and daughters
Our identity was signed and sealed by HIS BLOOD
 
Precious price paid – the Blood of Jesus Christ – shed at Calvary on the cross
Each drop released the SOUND OF LOVE’S SURRENDER
It permeated the atmosphere and swallowed up death, hell, and the grave
Sin was taken captive and thrown into the sea of forgetfulness
Eternal Love’s Victorious sound trumpeted through ages past, present and future
Resounding – HE’S ALIVE – RESURRECTION REALITY
 
And this is Who is alive in us!
The SOUND OF LOVE’S SURRENDER – around and within – we surrender in holy love’s response
Our all, our lives, all that we are, that He may fully live His Life through us for His Glory!

“Pictures painted with words, sounds that come alive, rhythms and patterns that defy the natural, revelation that jumps off the page or settles deep inside.” – Cathy
