Your Love Endures

 

In the silver light

I just made out

Your silhouette

Through the quickening haze

So brand it on my mind 

So I don't forget

Let it shine

On my wandering eyes

And ooh, Your Love Endures

And ooh, I have faith for the rest

These lyrics are so beautiful to me. When you think of branding it's a pretty serious thing, pretty painful, pretty permanent. To me this is a deep prayer. Brand YOUR love on MY mind so I don't forget it...even when my eyes wander from you, let YOUR love shine and in Your love I can have faith for everything else. Your love gives me hope to have faith, to go on. 

Later the song goes on to say:

And in the valley I am free

But in the hills I soar

Valley's are often spoken as hard times in life...so when we have His love 'branded' on our minds (and on our hearts), His love lets us know that despite the circumstances we are in, we are free. This is our identity in Christ, our circumstances don't define us, His love does. 

So whether I am free in the valley or soaring in the hills I want His love branded on my mind and to live in the assurance that His Love endures no matter what. What a great place to live. 

I can't help but think of this scripture: For in Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28.
