Just because. Because I said so.
Both of those phrase hold lots of memories for me. Reminds me of an answer my parents would give me when I asked a question or didn’t want to do something. The other is the answer to so many questions that I don’t understand.
A recent new song has caught my attention. It is by a band named Judah, and the song is “Just Because”. It gives one of those answers. I really like the sound of the song, and then I really connect with what it has to say.
Here is a little of the song or the lyrics. Go find the song and listen or watch.
Boldly I come
Into His arms
With nothing to bring
But all of my heart
How could this be?
The way He looks in my eyes
All broken and crimson sin
He sees only white
And I can’t do anything
To gain what He’s done
I’m His beloved
I am His friend
His love has no limit
From beginning to end
No angel or demon will ever separate
Me from His goodness and His wonderful gaze
So let me remind you
Of all that He’s done
He just loves you
‘Cause He loves you
‘Cause He loves you
Just because He does
He loves me just because. Because that is what my God does. He knows me. I am His. He loves no matter what.
Knowing this truth ought to change the way we look at and think about God. It should even change how we think about ourselves.
God loves you. No matter what He loves you just because.
Romans 5:8 NLT
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
1 John 3:1 NLT
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.
