afflictions Eclipsed by glory

by AG

We’ve sung this song by John Marc McMillan at church the past two weeks called “How He Loves Us.”   It’s some very powerful, truth-filled lyrics about the indescribable love that God has for us.   Not to mention, it’s the first song I’ve ever heard “Sloppy Wet Kiss” fit in as a lyric.  

I’ve been moved this week to just seek my Savior in a new, very deliberate way.  My posts from a few weeks ago are very much still in the fore-front of my mind as I continue on this journey into the new and unknown.   We are what has begun to feel like just days away from meeting the heavenly gift in our son – and I can’t imagine the feeling that I will be experiencing during that moment when I get to first hold him.   Even now, the gift of just getting to feel a tiny kick has begun to really blow my mind on the love of God, as being seen through this child, that the day he is born is just going to be unbelievable.

As we were driving home tonight, along Clyo Rd, we had two deer jump out in front of us.   One galloped in the median along side of us.   I screamed out the moment I saw them, they were right there.   I’ve heard of just one deer vs vehicle accident that the  deer didn’t go down with out massively damaging the car.    But even in that fear, I was still singing from church “OH…how he love us.”   And as we gotten home I’ve really gotten to just sit in front of the lyrics again, I feel like our afflictions (distress) were eclipsed by His Glory tonight especially, and what a wonderful feeling that is.

I pray that wherever you are, no matter the stage of life, no matter the road your on – that your afflictions (pains, sufferings, and distressed) are being hidden by His glory.

Here’s the song:

I think you're totally right, the love that god has for us IS indescribable. This song is but one of many that tries to convey that idea to us and share it across the world.
