COMMENTARY PEARL
I have been known to overplay a song. Or
as my husband, Scott, says, drive it straight
into the ground. But really how else can you
memorize the lyrics so that you sing it at the top of
your lungs in the car? You have to play it over
and over and over so that the words can work
their way into your soul. So that you can sing
without thinking and know the truth of it in the
very marrow of your bones. My kids complain when
I say, "Hey, let's play that one more time."
But I don't just want to hear it over and over
again. It's the only way I can truly understand
it.
Repetition is a good thing. We need to
hear about Jesus's love over and over before it
begins to sink in. We need to experience His
faithfulness repeatedly in our lives before we can begin
to understand His character. We need to hear
His voice time after time before we can
recognize His truth in our hearts.
Jesus is singing a song of freedom and
hope and peace over our lives. It is a tune that
we need in our heads and in our hearts, so that
we can begin to learn it and live it. His
faithful love endures forever. It is never going
away. Can you feel the truth of it? Can you hear
the hope thrumming in between the chords? Can
you understand the importance of knowing that
Jesus loves you endlessly? He will never leave you
or forsake you. Ever. Lean in, listen, and soak
it up. by Susanna Foth Aughtmon
Faith Step: Listen to the song, "No
Longer Slaves, online and set it on repeat. Let
the words penetrate your heart and know that
Jesus loves you beyond measure. [Mornings With
Jesus 2018 Devotional by Guideposts and
