Ok, so you already know that I am a bit unconventional in my thought process when it comes to the way the Holy Spirit teaches me. Bear with me on this one.
I’m a big George Strait fan. Have loved his music for years and years. Got to see him in live concert once, own multiple albums and to me his music is timeless.
He has a song, Write This Down. It comes on and I can sing all the lyrics. Love it.
As I started my prayer time this morning, the Lord just brought up in my heart, “Write this down…I love you and I wanted you to know, so write this down.”
WOW! That’s the whole reason we have the Bible. He loves us and He wants us to know. Amazing that God the Father would go to such great lengths to remind us every day that He loves us!
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” Hebrews 10:16-17 KJV
The difference in the Scripture and George’s song is this. The song says “remember what I forgot to say”, the Father has never forgotten to tell us how much He loves us. We sometimes forget but He never does!
“Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. Those things were written so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. 5 All patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other, as Christ Jesus wants.” Romans 15:4-5 ERV
“I’ll sign it at the bottom of the page, I’ll swear under oath
‘Cause every single word is true, and I think you need to know,
So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your ‘frigerator door,
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel where you’ll see it for sure.” by George Strait
So if you are having trouble remembering God’s words of love, write this down:
“Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ERV
God bless you today!
