His Banner Over Me Is LOVE!

He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.

 -Song of Songs 2:4



Here is an old song I used to listen to when I was a teenager.  I used to giggle at the thought of even reading Song of Songs!  Today I think it may hold the treasures of the deep!  This morning I had the best news ever.  My friends who have been trying to get married for over a year have finally processed immigration and can be together again.  Praying at a great distance for them during this time, I've seen them so broken down and weary.  Hoping in a hope.  Today God shouted out...his banner over them is love.  Today is a marking point in their lives, and all who have watched them from the sidelines, trust God each day.  Today God shouted out 'His Banner Over Us Is LOVE!'

God doesn't play tricks with us, he loves us, even if we doubt he loves us or cares for the large and small details of our lives.  We believe he is good, all the time.  A deep mystery...too hard to believe...so simple..HE LOVES US.

You are his beloved; beloved means to be dearly loved.

Today my husband started the first day of his new job.  I got a hint of what it might feel like sending your kids to school or college for the first time.  We are so thankful for this provision, it also holds all the potential for change!!  Change that scary word..We needed to know, as much as my friends did today, that Gods Banner over us is Love.  That in all the new things we face each season of life - HE is good, HE loves us.

Do we really believe God is good?  If you find in yourself a fear or an anger...it's time to lay it aside and dance in the overwhelming love of your father..nothing can seperate you from His love. NOTHING!!!!  Yipeeee!!!
