Now that I know it works, here goes...

Song of the moment has been In Me by Casting Crowns for the 2 lines I had posted.

I thought that those 2 lines really summed up how much I am loved by God that He is just crazy in love with me. When I was younger, I often wondered why God made mankind, knowing that we will stray and mess up this creations with all the silly, selfish things we do? Why suffer the heartache? I figured that He was so full of love, that love overflowed and hence the want to create human. It's like how John Paul the Second could forgive, pray for and visit his assassin and how it could explain why he hugs children the way he does. When I first saw this particular photo of JP2 hugging a child, I felt it was ironic that a gentle person like him was hugging the child till what look like suffocation. But later i understood that it was the way the body respond to an overflow of love. (P.S. Will upload the photo if I find it)

Through the incessant trouble and heartache He feels for us, the beauty of God's love is revealed. He is God, He doesn't need anything from us. He thinks it, He has it. Despite us having nothing to offer, He showers us with all things beautiful, all things good and consistently pursues us. All He want is a relationship with us, to waste time with us. To love us at any cost.

I like the way the lyricist uses the word "refreshing". The idea of a new concept. The truth that God does not need me to do anything for Him really hit home a month ago. After being really jaded by what seemed to be incessant giving, those lines were much comfort. I realised that I was loved for just being me. It was not a cause-and-effect relationship. I am not loved because I did something right. I guess the implications of this love is that we must love all mankind just because they are children of God.

"How refreshing to know you don't need me, how amazing to find that you want me."
