Today has been absolutely beautiful! The clouds finally let-up for more than a few hours in this dreaded rainy season, and it feels like spring. All day the sun has been shining and a sweet cool breeze has been blowing. The birds are singing and the air is crisp. Distance (or absence) really does encourage affection, not just with relationships, but also with little things like sunny days! It rains like clock work every day during the rainy season, so a day like today is like a little taste of heaven! I sat outside this afternoon while I worked on some homework and the glory of the day reminded me of how much God loves me. He is so beyond incredible and His love is unexplainable and so undeserved; yet He gives it anyways, even when we don't receive it... He still gives it. Later on I turned on my itunes music and one of the first songs that came on was one I've never heard before entitled: "Your Love is Better Than Life" by Eden's Bridge. I immediately recognized the reference from Psalm 63. You may recall from one of my earlier posts that Psalm 63 is my study abroad psalm for this semester (the title of my blog is actually a reference to this Psalm). It's come to mean a lot to me. This little song again reminded me of God's love and how sweet His presence is. Thank you God for sunny days and for sweet little reminders. Here are the lyrics:
In the shadow of Your wings
My soul clings to You
Through the watches of the night
I will remember You
Because You are my help
And Your right hand upholds me
And Your love is better than life
For I have beheld You in the sanctuary
And I have seen Your power and Your glory
And I will praise Your name
And I will lift my hands
Because Your love is better than life
Because Your love is better than life
Because Your love is better than life
