Winim Silva na Gol


There’s a worship song that I love here, it’s called Sindaun Long Heven.

A line that says:
Jisas laikim b’long yu, long laif bilong mi, emi winim silva na gol
Jesus your love over my life, it exceeds/is better than silver and gold.

I love this song. I have loved it for a long time for its catchy tune, good truth, and sing-ability.  But today it hit me really powerfully how incredible it is that Jesus — that the Trinity, ruler of the universe, maker of all things, judge, sacrificial king, master and provider for all peoples everywhere — pours his faithful, pure, powerful love over my life. I nearly started crying in my kitchen as I sang along with the video below while I made dinner.

I thought to myself, It’s true Jesus, Your love over my life truly is better and far exceeds money or possessions or anything I could ever pursue or desire. It was a humbling, holy moment in the midst of the mundane.

Another friend sent me this verse from Zephaniah 3:17 that seems even more incredible to me:

“The LORD your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17 ESV

In the context God promises that he will rescue his people when they have repented and will comfort them, rejoice over them, sing over them, and pour out his love on them. How incredible that God pours out His love on you and me. But even more incredible, he is with us to rescue us, walk with us, rejoice over us and lavish his faithful love on us.

Rejoice, my dear friends, God is is on his throne, full of power, glory and might, and he pours his love over us in a way that far exceeds anything we can ask or imagine.
