We Live In Love Because God Lives In Us

On Saturday, my sons and I went to the West Edmonton Mall where Daniel bought himself a new jacket and I bought myself a new children's book at the Christian book store. The book is entitled, "I Couldn't Love You More," by Jason Ingram and Matt Hammitt, the lead singer of Sanctus Real. The message of the book touched my heart so much, I will share with you the words and a few of my favourite pictures. In the book, the words are spoken by a parent to their young child.

In the night

He is with you.

At morning light

He is with you.

Do not fear

For He is with you.

When I'm not here

He is with you.

I couldn't love you more.

No, I couldn't love you more.

But somebody does, Jesus.

Rest your eyes.

He is with you.

I pray you find.

He is with you.

When I let go.

He is with you.

And I can know.

That He is with you.

I couldn't love you more.

No, I couldn't love you more.

But somebody does, Jesus.

You are mine for a moment

But you are His,

Forever His.

In this life,

I am holding you.

But in His arms,

You live.

I couldn't love you more.

No, I couldn't love you more.

Oh, but somebody does, Jesus.

The Bible supports the words and message of this book. I will share three of my favourite verses that do:

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you.

Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."

Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

"We know how much God loves us,

and we have put our trust in His love.

God is love,

and all who live in love live in God,

and God lives in them."

1 John 4:16 (NLT)

"But the free gift of God is eternal life
 through Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23b (NLT)
