Reckless Abandon

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Love with reckless abandon is a term that Gil uses often, and I think most of you know by now that he was NOT referring to it in the romantic sense. Not for now, anyway. At church this morning, while attempting to sing No Longer Slaves, the emotions I’ve been feeling these past few days welled up inside… and the waterworks began.

I knew it was going to happen the second that the music started. It was definitely a confirmation that today’s mood is LOVE. Just as it should be.

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
and I will stand and sing…

I am a child of God

God is great, and He is LOVE! ♥♥♥

      I saw my image on my phone and it looks too dark. Darn it. Oh well… the message is there! 🙂

    When I cry in church and am moved so deeply, I always feel that He’s ministering to my heart. They are tears of sadness and utter joy- all at the same time. ❤

    Your post went right along with my meditation today and my dreams last night. It’s exactly what I needed to hear. Do you know what is strange? I am not sure I remember how to love with abandon. I wonder how you get that back.
