“If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.” Jeremiah 20:9
Many times, my first thoughts in the morning are of a particular Scripture and corresponding Christian song. I am very thankful that God helps me begin my day in this manner. I had not heard the song below in several years, but have been blessed by the message therein many times. I will always stand amazed at how miraculously God’s love changes us from the inside out.
As believers in Jesus Christ, we can be thankful for a never-ending, unconditional love that brings untold joy to our hearts, regardless of our circumstances. He is the Hope of our eternal salvation and there’s nothing like His love, nor can there ever be.
How great to know with full assurance that God’s love is planted deep inside our hearts. I hope you’ll find it too good to keep to yourself as you go about your day. He definitely calls us to share His love with others.
Why not let the words of this song minister to you today, and if you so desire, look it up on YouTube and take a listen.
When God Dips His Love In My Heart
W. Stevenson
When God dips His pen of love in my heart
And writes my soul the message He wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills this sinful soul of mine
When God dips His love in my heart
Chorus:
I said I wouldn’t tell it to a living soul
How He brought salvation when He made me whole
But I found I couldn’t hide
Such love as Jesus did impart
It makes me laugh and it makes me cry
Sets my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart
Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer, I can always find Him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul
Chorus:
I said I wouldn’t tell it to a living soul
How He brought salvation when He made me whole
But I found I couldn’t hide
Such love as Jesus did impart
It makes me laugh and it makes me cry
Sets my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart
He walked every step up Calvary’s ragged way
And He gave His life completely to bring a better day
My life was lost in sin but in love He took me in
His blood washed all my sins away
Chorus:
I said I wouldn’t tell it to a living soul
How He brought salvation when He made me whole
But I found I couldn’t hide
Such love as Jesus did impart
It makes me laugh and it makes me cry
Sets my sinful soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart
Prayer: Dear Father, You are more powerful than we can comprehend, but how wonderful it is to know that You specialize in dusting us off, cleaning us up, and placing Your love deep inside our heart. Thank You for forgiving our every sin so that we might have a brand new, eternal life in Jesus. Because we have experienced the change You have brought about in our lives, we cannot help but tell others what a difference Jesus has made, by erasing the guilt of past failures and choices. And how He can, and will do the same for them, if only they will ask. Give us more of You and less of ourselves, so that in all ways we might be true and effective witnesses for You. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
