How He Loves

Don't judge me, but one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter is Bethenny Frankel (yes-the Real Housewife of New York). She's hilarious. Today, she was posting sooo many pictures of the damage done by Hurricane Irene. This one struck me rather deeply:


For those of you who don't know, one of my favorite songs is How He Loves, by David Crowder Band. It became my theme song while in Nicaragua, and since then I listen to it frequently because the lyrics just speak to me so much. The first line of the song says, He is jealous for me. Loves like a hurricane. I am a tree. And as I look at that picture, those words come to mind. That tree was so firmly rooted in the ground. Even covered by concrete. But Irene just pulled it straight up from its comfort zone and wreaked havoc for that little tree.

Today, I praise God for His love that knocks us off our feet.
Oh, how He loves us.
