As I completed a study of the gospel of Mark with our small group connection group, I got to spend several weeks looking at that which God plants in each of us. Call it potential - a scientific term which speaks of energy stores inside an object - or call it capacity...that's where we spent time. God gives so much along our journey to allow us to reach the full dream He gives and we each have a choice in how we respond to what has been given.
Jesus describes His love and care for us along the journey in John 10. He contrasts the mission of the thief (to steal, kill and destroy) with His purpose: to give life to the full and overflowing.
This came to my heart as I was walking the dog and listening to Pandora radio last week. I was having a "country" kind of day and was caught off-guard by this song. I had heard the song before, but was taken as I considered the message of the song - a prayer, hope, desire - from giver to receiver. I came to find out that the song was written out of a time of deep loss and pain and was ultimately dedicated by Lee Ann Womack to her children. I think that is so appropriate; a heart-felt desire from a parent to a child. Consider the love in these lyrics as if they come from the heart of our Father to His children...
