Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher – Embracing God’s Unfailing Love
Do you ever find yourself humming the tune of Jackie Wilson’s hit song “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher”? This soulful anthem speaks to the uplifting power of love, a theme profoundly echoed in biblical principles. Today, let’s explore how God’s unfailing love lifts us higher and higher, reshaping our lives with boundless grace and compassion.
The Never-Ending Love of God
In Jackie Wilson’s song, love is described as a force that continually lifts us up, taking us to new heights. Similarly, God’s love for us is unending and ever-present. His love lifts our spirits, fills our hearts with joy, and provides us with strength.
In Jeremiah 31:3, the LORD declares, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Just like in the song, where love elevates the heart, God’s everlasting love continually elevates our souls.
Higher and Higher – The Transformative Power of Divine Love
Jackie Wilson sings about love that never ceases to “lift me up.” This powerful imagery finds its counterpart in several Bible passages where God’s love is depicted as transformative and life-changing. Consider Ephesians 3:17-19, where Paul prays that believers “being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”
Imagine a love so expansive, it transforms our very being! Not only does it elevate our spirits, but it also reassures us of our worth and guides us in our walk with Christ.
Reflection: How High is Your Spirit Being Lifted?
Just as Jackie Wilson felt his love lifting him higher, it’s important to reflect on how God’s love is lifting you. Do you feel the assurance of His presence in times of trouble? How has His love transformed your life and relationships?
– Consider a moment when you felt God’s love uplifting you during a challenging time.
– Reflect on how your relationship with God has brought joy and strength into your life.
– Share a time when you felt God’s love working through you to uplift someone else.
These reflections not only enhance our spiritual growth but also reiterate our reliance on God’s love.
The Confidence of Being Loved
Another theme in Wilson’s song is the confidence that love brings. This confidence is echoed splendidly in biblical teachings. Psalm 18:32 declares, “It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.” Just as the song suggests, knowing that someone loves us and lifts us up can instill a deep sense of confidence and security.
When we place our trust in God’s love, we gain the confidence to face life’s storms. We are emboldened to pursue our dreams, serve others, and walk our faith journey with courage.
Your Turn: Embrace and Share God’s Love
Our journey with God’s love is ongoing and transformative. Here’s a small call to action for you:
