Rediscovery !

i love the feeling of rediscovery .

it`s like ,
something lost or forgotten ;
finding it again is like finding something new , but better ! , enabling you to cherish existing memories of something onced loved , and giving you the opportunity to make more .

okay that was just my rant on how i ' rediscovered ' this song i used to really like , but deleted it along with all my other downloaded music xD .

but then it`s like the parable of the lost coin , or the lost sheep !

Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

Then Jesus told them this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

- Luke 15:1-10

( how fitting ; we`re doing parables for ISCF this term haha . )

but like WOW how amazing ;

In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents

well , i thought rediscovering god`s grace in light of how broken we are amazing . i thought him refreshing my tired , cold soul amazing .

and this post was going to be about the joy of rediscovering his love . but nothing can compare to his joy at ' rediscovering ' us ; claiming us back as his .
like how much more does he rejoice over us coming back to him ?

i mean do i truly love god ?
with all my heart , soul and strength ?
no ; i admit i don`t .
but i hope i will learn to .

and in the meantime , i will leave with a love song . from god <33 .
( thanks phil for telling me about this song ^______^ )

Take a look at the mountain
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of me

Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am
And I'm always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you
Yesterday
And today
And tomorrow
I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to me
And I want you to know
I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you
Yesterday
And today
And tomorrow
I'll say it again and again
I love you more
I love you more

Shine for me
Shine for me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for me

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you
Yesterday
And today
And tomorrow
I'll say it again and again
I love you more

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you
Yeaterday
And today
Through the joy
And the pain
I say it again and again
I love you more
I love you more

And I see you
And I made you
And I love you more than you can imagine
More than you can fathom
I love you more than the sun
And you shine for me
