Thick Love

As the thick fog surrounds me this morning
I think of my Daddy's thick love...

His thick love that pursues...
That invades my soul and turns my heart toward Him.

His thick love that covers my shame, guilt, and sin
Forgives and remembers my sin no more.

His thick love that not only forgives
But restores, remakes, transforms
And turns those ashes to beauty.

His thick love
That stays with me
Lives inside of me
Guides and instructs me along the way.

His thick love that blesses me
With all the blessings of heaven.
Thickly, providing for me
Thickly, encouraging and comforting me
Thickly, feeding me with His promises and truth
Thickly, protecting and keeping me.

His thick love...
The glory that surrounds me.

His thick love...
The green pastures I feed on and rest in.

His thick love...
The anchor I am secured to.

His thick love
Holding me, protecting me, providing for me, delighting me...

Thick Love!

Extravagant Worship

A woman came in
To adore the One who showed her love
To worship the One who rescued her, set her free, gave her worth...
To bless the One who caused her heart to sing
The One who took the burden of pain, worry, and heaviness from her...

Her joy, her freedom, her gratitude
Brought her to adoration and generosity...

She came to Him with the only valuable item she had...
Desiring to give Him everything,
Desiring to bless the One who had touched her
The One who had put meaning and purpose into her life...

She poured it out...this valuable, fragrant oil...
Over His head, dripping it down over His body
Desiring only to give, to bless, to adore, to worship Him.

The extravagant gesture blessed the Lord...
He saw her heart
And warmly accepted this gift of love.

Those around him saw this picture differently.
"Crazy woman, wasted money," they growled.

Father
I desire eyes to see as You do
And a heart that extravagantly adores You!

Mark 26
