Jesus love is like a river....

I have been searching in my heart these past few months. Searching for what I truly want. I have found that there is so much for me to experience and so much for me to learn. I was searching my scriptures one day a few months a go and came across my favorite scripture.

"And Ruth said Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following thee. For where thou goest I will go, where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people,and thy God, my God". ~Ruth 1:16~

This scripture has had so much meaning for me. It is true genuine love. Pure honest true love. It is what I feel for Jesus Christ and what he has done for me. He gave up his life for me. For my son. For my hubby. It is so genuine and so powerful. As a mother to know that someone has that much love for me, for my son and my hubby and my entire family. I feel tingly and joyful. Astonished and humbled by this most courageous act.

I was going through some of Janice Kapp Perry's music that I have on my iPad and found one of my favorite songs. Jesus love is like a river. The soft gentle words. The humbling story it tells. I find myself entranced into a cloud of humility and grace. Peace and love. Janice has a way of writing music that speaks straight to the soul. Another of my ultimate favorites is God bless our homes and families. It makes me feel so grateful that I have my mother who showed me true love and showed me how to be a good mother. As I watch my son grow I can't help but feel a little understanding towards how a mother helps shape and guide her family spiritually. Most of the time I don't feel as though I measure up to what the lord expects of me but I always known that with forgiveness and repentance I can become who I was meant to be.
