Annie Poonen - “O love that will not let me go” by George Matheson
Summary
The sermon uses George Matheson's hymn, "O love that will not let me go," to illustrate that true life and spiritual vision are found through surrender to God, especially amidst suffering. Matheson's own life, marked by blindness and personal tragedy, led him to realize that earthly loves fade, but God's eternal love endures. The core message is that by yielding our lives to the Lord, our struggles become pathways to an abundant, joyful life mirroring Christ's sacrifice.

The central message is that our praise and thankfulness to God should come from the heart, regardless of our current circumstances. The speaker compares singing for God to a bird singing only for its creator, emphasizing that our praise should not be for human entertainment. True joy and praise, like the sunbeam after a storm, come from repentance, forgiveness, and acknowledging God's goodness.
