Go On Loving You

I was touched by the words of a worship song that I've never heard before that we sang at church today.

Go On Loving You

This is my prayer
This is my cry
I want to go on loving You
All through the joy
All through the fire
I want to go on loving You
I want to go on loving You

Seasons will change
People depart
I want to go on loving You
In times of pain when life is hard
And when the journey seems so long
I want to go on loving You

Your love for me, new as the dawn
Older than time
Stronger than death, greater than life
This love is mine

In everything, through all my life
I want to go on loving You
This is my prayer, this is my cry
I want to go on loving You
I want to go on loving You

While singing, I was especially moved by the words "Seasons will change - People depart - I want to go on loving You. In times of pain when life is hard - And when the journey seems so long - I want to go on loving You." Working on my law school applications, I can't help wonder what the next phase in my life will hold. I feel passionate about God's call for me to fight for justice on behalf of the most poor and vulnerable people, and yet the idea of living abroad after law school both excites me and scares me at the same time. I feel like this year in Cebu and the next three years in law school are preparing me to obey God's command to care for the poor and neglected around the world. To fight for justice on their behalf. But I know that there will be times when it won't be easy... to be away from family and loved ones... to be away from what is comfortable and familiar... but I also know that God promises to bless a life of obedience. I want to live that kind of life... to go on loving God even in times of pain and when life is hard, because of a deep understanding of His love for me and the life He has called me to.
