Last night, I stood in prayer chapel as a new student belted out How He Loves from her tiny body. I think her guitar might be bigger than she is? As I stood there, I felt the presence of the Lord, so sweet, so near. Tears began to run down my checks. Wow, this Jesus, He loves. I mean He really loves. I felt convicted for running to other loves, when this love awaits me. This jealous indescribable love that gave up everything for me. How can I stand Him up? How could I leave Him waiting? He is a jealous lover. He continues to strip away even the seemingly good things in my life that subtly steal away my time with Him.
“Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealously unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.”
Song of Solomon 8:6
“Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden. For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
Deuteronomy 4:23-24
“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 realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.”
-exert from John Mark McMillan’s How He Loves
One more cool thing about Jesus. (A sure sign of love is when you brag about the person right?) Well, as I sat down to write this blog the radio is gently playing in the background. Guess what song came on immediately when I began?

Anna, first of all I miss you. You are a source of God’s joy carried in a vessel made of flesh! Many people have moments of joy, but I sense God using you in his unique way to spill it over to those around you. Many, those you may never know about, will drink of that joy like a refreshing splash of water on a hot day! What a gift!
