Revolutionary Love

Desperation leads us here
Leads us here
Illumination meets us here
Meets us here
Revelation brings us here
Brings us here
Restoration frees us here
Frees us here

And I don't want to leave
I don't want to leave this place
No, I don't want to leave
I never want to leave this place

It's so amazing
Your unchanging love
Simply amazing
Never changing love
Love, love a revolutionary love

Reparation leads us here
Leads us here
Liberation meets us here
Meets us here
Jubilation brings us here
Brings us here
Higher elevation frees us here
Frees us here

And I don't want to leave
I don't want to leave this place
No, I don't want to leave
I never want to leave this place

Your revolutionary love
Your revolutionary love, love, love

You're a revolution I want to be
Revolutionary
You're a revolution I want to be
Revolutionary
You're a revolution I want to be
Love, love, love
Revolutionary love

I Told You So

I feel this is something God could repeat very often.

"Talented with reason, i cover all the angles.  I can fail before i ever try."

It seems God gave us the gift of foresight.  We can take memories of the past to conjur up possible outcomes for situations of the future.  Theoretically we can make the best of any situation if we just think things through before acting.  Yet we still fail.

I suppose this could be contributed to the fact that we come upon new situations that seem unfamiliar to us and make wrong dicisions.  But God also gave us the ability to learn from others.  People have gone before us and made the wrong decisions.  They tell us in illaborate ways not to play with fire, to wash our hands before eating, to just say no.  Yet we still fail.

So we make mistakes.  It is okay.  Very few are lethal.  We live on to make the right decision the next time around.  Encountering the same thing we did at some point in the past our minds return to the situation and let us know of how things will most likely turn out.  We have the power to course correct.  Yet we still fail.

And this i don't understand.  Why do we continue to fail?  Why do i continue to fall short?  I suppose all i can do is continue to love God for the grace he lavishly pours out on us.  And pray that next time, maybe, just maybe, the next time i won't fail again.
