Mercy So Great....

For all of the seeking

Through valleys and hills

Shepherds and wise men

For glory revealed

Seems like the greatest 

Journey of all

Was heaven now searching

For the hearts of the lost

Gloria

Our Savior found us

Gloria

Oh love divine

Through the darkness

He won’t relent

Mercy so great

Will find a way

Gloria*

These are the lyrics to a song we sang at Christmas. It touched my heart in a particularly piercing way because I have a family member who is lost. So many times I lose hope. Because this precious loved one is not seeking God in any way. They aren't interested in a God who loves them. They don't want to have anything to do with Him. And yet, God has come to their rescue time and time and time again.

The part of this song that first caught my attention  was "Heaven now searching for the hearts of the lost."

Wow!  Heaven is searching for those hearts that are lost.

God is seeking those who are lost.
He hasn't given up.
He isn't blind to their location.
He isn't deaf to our prayers.
His light pierces through the darkness in which they are surrounded.

But the next part of the song gave me hope again.
It was a promise.
Through the darkness....He won't relent!

God is relentless in His love for us.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son! (John 3:16).

If you, like me, are
waiting...
hoping...
praying...
Don't give up! Remember hope!

Mercy so great...
WILL find a way!!
Gloria!

*Gloria (Our Savior Found Us)
