We are all such unique individuals, and musical tastes vary, but this Valentine’s month we’d like to share a love song with you called Pieces. A song about God’s love, one of the songwriter’s once reflected: "This love is God Himself, and God is Love incarnate. He is one and the same, and His will, His desire, is that all would come to understand that He, Love Himself, has always been for us. He has always been on our side. And the more we study the bravery of His Son, in laying down His life for us, the more we discover that He is not holding his heart at arms length, like a tease, enough for us to see but not close enough to know. Rather, He has invited us completely in … to be surrounded and supported by the breath of love itself. We exist because of Love, and in its will we have our being." - Amanda Cook We pray this song introduces or assures you of God's love for you, a love that transforms, just as we at Vintage Pearls MKE are ever being transformed. The lyrics can be found below: Verse 1 Unreserved unrestrained Your love is wild Your love is wild for me It isn't shy it's unashamed Your love is proud To be seen with me Chorus You don't give Your heart in pieces You don't hide Yourself To tease us Verse 2 Uncontrolled uncontained Your love is a fire Burning bright for me It's not a spark It's not just a flame Your love is a light That all the world will see Chorus You don't give Your heart in pieces You don't hide Yourself To tease us Bridge Your love's not fractured It's not a troubled mind It isn't anxious It's not the restless kind Your love's not passive It's never disengaged It's always present It hangs on every word we say Love keeps its promises It keeps its word It honors what's sacred 'Cause its vows are good Your love's not broken It's not insecure Your love's not selfish Your love is pure Chorus You don't give Your heart in pieces You don't hide Yourself To tease us Chorus You don't give Your heart in pieces You don't hide Yourself to tease us  Precious one, God's love is powerful, intimate, and safe, a Love like no other; you don't have to earn it, work for it, or have it all together. He has given of Himself to us, wholly and fully, and He longs and invites us into relationship. Let His value of you override what others think or say because, the truth is, He WANTS and cherishes you so, sweet girl. May we surrender fully to Him, piece by piece, empowered to love Him back, resting securely in His love. If you have questions about God's love or would like a listening ear, please reach out. Happy Valentine's Day!

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." - Hebrews 4:15-16 -

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." - Isaiah 43:1b - Have you heard of the TV series, "The Chosen"? The Chosen is the first-ever multi-season series about the life of Jesus Christ and His disciples, and it is the largest crowdfunded media project in history to date (not just for faith-based projects, but ever!). With acclaim from both critics and audiences, we get to see Jesus through the eyes of those that met Him. Sometimes Jesus is portrayed or understood as distant from us normal humans, smugly holy and self-righteous, but in The Chosen, Jesus and his disciples are down-to-earth and relatable, with believable emotional weight, humor, and authenticity. Being both God and man while on earth, how could Jesus not have been? The first two seasons are completely FREE, and can be found through The Chosen's Website (as well as a host of additional streaming services). Expected December 4th, an official and free new Chosen App is also to be available, providing full access to Seasons One through Two, and eventually Season Three to stream shortly thereafter. Season One can be found via the image link below:  Following two brothers struggling with their tax debts to Rome, a tax collector ostracized by his family and his people, a religious leader struggling with his beliefs, and a woman in the Red Quarter wrestling with her demons, Season One introduces Jesus and the calling of His initial disciples.  Season Two focuses on the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and what happens as word of His ministry begins to spread.  If it is something you find yourself seeking, Vintage Pearls MKE would love the opportunity to extend friendship, encouragement, support, or simply lend an ear. Many of us at Vintage Pearls MKE have been impacted by The Chosen, as it points to our Savior, King, and Friend - Jesus - and we invite you to explore the Gospels in the Bible when you are ready.
If you watch the show, let us know what you think! Or, if you'd like to set-up a viewing party or Bible Study, please reach out! We are here for you, friend, and even more so, know Jesus always always is. You are loved, valued, and purposed. Merry Christmas! Text/Call: 414-858-8554 Email: vintagepearlsmke@gmail.com |
