beyond reason

blossom
with valentine's day soon approaching i always feel a bit unsettled in my skin...
it is a bit silly i suppose, 
but the idea of love has always been challenging for me...real love that is.
my faith seeks to gift me with the understanding and peace of an unconditional love 
a love that offers a freedom and empowerment of sorts...a love that promises to provide to me a means to begin a journey and reconnect with family, friends...my community, the world.
this big love that God offers seems to be love that is beyond reason, a love that i don't dare question or doubt.  i don't even dive into a box of chocolates with that frame of mind...but i am always willing to try a new flavor.  i love challenges and i love the idea of real genuine love. 
 

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John 4:16

Love beyond reason, beyond explanation, beyond imagination even. I keep thinking I've got it figured out; how big God's love is and then i find more. thanks for reminding me again.

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
