I was driving home from church today and the song "More" by Matthew West came on and as I was listening I was thinking about what it means to live life knowing that fact. That God loves us more then anything. So I have posted the song and I am gonna make a few comments of my own(in these).
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 look at these first two verses and I think about how true it is. How many times have I stood on the beach, or a mountain in Arizona and feel so small. Thinking about how our God took the time to make each and everything we see, and he also made us. Just as we are.)

I love you more than the sun (One of the first things he made)
And the stars that I taught how to shine (One of the many things we take for granted, the stars, he taught each one how to shine, how to do what it was meant to do. He loves us more.)
You are mine and you shine for me to (We shine for God, in our own broken way, our lives are meant to shine and reflect God)
I love you (I need to hear this eveyday)
Yesterday And today And tomorrow (He will never stop loving us, ever)
I’ll say it again and again I love you more

Just a face in the city (We feel like this)
Just a tear on a crowded street (We wonder if we matter)
But you are one in a million (No one else is made just like us, God made only us the way we are)
And you belong to me (He claims us, He says we belong to Him)
And I want you to know I’m not letting go Even when you come undone (Even when we mess up and fail, He claims us, we are never "too much" for God, He loves us always)

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me to
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 (He is calling us to live for Him)
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 to
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 to
I love you Yeaterday And today Through the joy (When we are happy)
And the pain (When we are hurting)
I say it again and again
I love you more I love you more (He keeps loving, His love keeps growing)
And I see you (He sees us)
And I made you
And I love you more than you can imagine (More then we will ever love anyone)
More than you can fathom (Beyond what we even understand)
I love you more than the sun
And you shine for me


(How amazing is that, God really loves us that much. I am floored that He does, We live in a world that lives for itself, He came to this world, and died, for us. He looked at us, in our sin and brokenness, and said, "that one, I love that one so much that even though she/he turns away from me, I am going to give up my life for her/him, because I love them more then anything this world has." What love, We are so blessed, and most of the time, we lose sight of that. So as you go about your day today, remember that you are so loved. Have a great week everyone!)
