to make you feel my love

to make you feel my love..... (bob dylan)

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But i would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry i'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that i wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't see nothing like me yet
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that i wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

... Lately have been having a hard time realizing Jesus' desire for a relationship with me, the fact that He would die to be with me... and this afternoon I spent some quiet time with Him... but it was later that this song 'surprised me'... i was in the computer lab at school by myself with the itunes going... and this song came on... and just listening to the lyrics it was as if Jesus were saying it to me... "there ain't nothing that I wouldn't do to make you feel My love... " Just a week ago, we experienced Easter... God's way of showing us that there ain't nothing that He wouldn't do to make us feel His deep, passionate love for us... i have to admit the entire song fits what's going on in my life right now... that is just kinda funny...

i also ran into a really good friend today that i hadn't seen in awhile and he was discouraged with how his small group had been going with his high school guys... so we talked about it for a few minutes... and i shared with him some words of wisdom from one of my core group girls... that many times just being together means more than 'getting through' what we have planned out... it was neat to see his eyes spark up and realize that its not about what you do, but that you love on these kids... it was a surprise to run into him, and he has always been one of those guys that no matter how short of time we have to talk, i always leave encouraged...
