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.

Psalm 121: "He's not breathing! Please come now!"

  This story was shared with permission from the patient and family “He’s not breathing! Please come now!” The voice on the other end of the line was tense, close to panicked. “I’m coming now.” I replied. I hung up the phone and ran out the door. I drove across the center, praying urgently for God’s wisdom and help. My car rattled to a stop at the end of the driveway and I could see people standing near the door. I jumped out of my car and ran up the drive and into the house. The patient was in the throes of a severe seizure and was surrounded by scared and desperate friends. My eyes took in the situation and my mind clicked over into assessment mode: watching his chest, feeling for pulse, checking for responses from the patient. Within two minutes it was clear the seizure was not going to stop. “We need to get him to the clinic in my car.” I said. One of my friends grabbed my keys to open the doors of my car, and several strong guys came and picked up the patient. I guided them ou...

The Glorious Everyday

A double rainbow that caught our attention "The heavens declare the glory of God;  the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."                                                                                                Psalm 19:1-4a NIV    A soft breeze wafts through the window of my office. I can hear kids jumping on a trampoline next door and the bustle of the end of the work day as people head home. The smell of fresh grass and light rain and sweet wood smo...
