"Love Divine, All Loves Excelling"

What a wonderful hymn from the Evangelical Movement!  This timeless hymn is just one of the 6500 hymns contributed by Charles Wesley.  As I ponder the thoughts and comments from Bro. Doug this past Sunday centered around us seeking the Kingdom of God, I get stuck on the last stanza of this prolific hymn. 

"Finish then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be;

Let us see Thy great salvation  Perfectly restored in Thee:

Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place,

Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise."

Read it again...this time read it slowly and really soak it in!

That is seeking the Kingdom of God!  That is saying, "God, make my life, and make my heart Your "new creation."    What a marvelous picture!!! 

We will be opening our service with this hymn Sunday morning.  Take some time the rest of the week and really meditate on the words of this great hymn.  Then, as you are praying, seek His Kingdom and His will until you are "Lost in wonder, love and praise."  

"May the Word of Christ dwell in you richly..."
