Oh How He Loves!

Throughout this series that we are doing at my church I have gotten to pray with some people after the service.
It was not planned.
They just came to me.
Several of them.
One girl just kept saying that she felt like throughout worship she felt like I was screaming her name and just knew that she needed to come ask me for prayer. Another girl came up to me with tears in her eyes and said...I just feel like I was supposed to come and talk to you.
My soul stirs when this happens. God is moving. It was no accident that these people came to me and asked for prayer.
I don't feel gifted in that area, but God uses me somehow and I love it. I love lifting hurting people up in prayer.
I felt honored that they would come to me and share what they are struggling with and humbly ask for prayer. Especially when it's someone they don't even know.
Something that I love praying over people is that they would know and believe the extent of God's love for them. Especially in the hurt.
This song is on repeat on my ipod. It's David Crowder's new song.
How He Loves

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 realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

And oh, how He loves us, oh
Oh how He loves us
How He loves us all

And we are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us Oh how He loves us
Oh How He loves us
