While in the US lessons we have learned while in Swaziland started to appear. One lesson we would like to share with you has really impacted us. It is directly linked to what we call our "theme song" while in Swaziland. The song is called Forever Reign, we enjoy the version Hillsong sings. Here is a link if you want to listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTU4u30w2tQ.
"I'm running to your arms, I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace"
These are the lyrics that haunt us. The people in Swaziland live in a way that the 'riches of God's love will always be enough!' Christ is what defines who they are. Not their things or their social schedule. Christ and Chris alone fills their cups...and their cups overflow! Despite the grief they encounter daily.
Some days we struggle getting caught up in the grief that surrounds us. Andy referred to it as 'slap in the face' as we readjust to life in Swaziland. Things look different and loved ones have passed while we were gone. Our prayer is that God will fill our cups with His hope, love, and joy as we approach our second half in Swaziland. May His love always be enough for us!
