Is there a purpose to my existence? What is the point of me? What's this life all about? Is there something bigger than me? Can I know God? Is God good? If God is good, why is there such immense pain and suffering? This month, Vintage Pearls MKE would like to invite you to reflect and explore these questions and more in a five-part video series called Greater Than with Francis Chan. Francis walks through his own difficult childhood to help us understand that God is greater than any pain, sin, or hardship that we might encounter in this life, and that we actually have access to the God of the universe.  "Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." - Isaiah 40:26 God is greater than anything you can imagine, greater than anything standing in your way, greater than any earthly or human relationship. He says nothing is an accident. YOU are not an accident, and are loved, valued, and purposed beyond comprehension. What if this is the next step in finding God and feeling our way toward Him? All five videos can be found below, and are all under ten minutes. We are here for you, friend, and even more so, know Jesus always always is and desires a relationship with YOU. You are loved, valued, and purposed. Reach out anytime for prayer or if you have any questions about God.

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 - |
