Love Speaks Through

I have wanted to start a blog for quite some time to share all of the amazing things God has done in my life and all of the cool things God has taught me. I couldn't decide on a title at the time and dropped the idea for a while, but then it came back to mind recently.

This time in my jotted brainstorming from before the title Love Speaks Through jumped out at me as being just about as perfect as can be - why didn't I see that before? lol. That's exactly what I want this blog overall to express - to point people to God and His amazing love for us!

I can't really take credit for the title myself; it came from a jotted down Matthew West song lyric. Some lines of the chorus go:

"You got something to say
And no one can say it like you do
God is love and love speaks through
You got it, you got it
You got something to say"

In some ways, the title Love Speaks Through seems so simple yet profoundly good. I like how that song says it so well. Each one of us has something to say with our lives that expresses God's love to the world and no one else can say it quite the same.

We all have gifts and a role and a purpose for love and for good in God's plan. The choice is ours. We can choose to accept the grace and freedom provided by Christ's sacrifice and choose to follow and obey God and to live out our calling with courage and faith and hope and love. Walking with God is challenging, abundant, adventure-filled life! Once you receive God's love and pursue knowing Him in relationship - your life will never be the same!
