the thing that undistracted me
So there I am at faith night, being distracted by attractive single Christian guy dancing with adorable little children, when Jars of Clay starts singing this:
He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat
Or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust him
And learn how to see him
Someday he'll call her
And she will come running
Fall in his arms, the tears will fall down
And she'll pray
- Love Song for a Savior
In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air, flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses
In no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
She breathes the air, flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses
In no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughterOr the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat
Or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust him
And learn how to see him
Someday he'll call her
And she will come running
Fall in his arms, the tears will fall down
And she'll pray
I want to fall in love with you
- Love Song for a Savior
It hit me hard. Why do I worry about never being loved by a guy when I'm loved by GOD? Let's see...someone who buys flowers for me, or Someone Who created flowers for me? HE's given me daisies and roses in the most amazing way, a way no guy ever could. And all the other things in that song. GOD is so much greater. I want to fall in love with HIM. I want HIM to be the one I want to spend time with. I want HIM to be the one I want to do things for. I want HIM to be the one I'm gushing about. I want to want HIM more than anything.

that's really a beautiful way to look at it.
Why indeed? (speaking for myself here;) All the things I like about guys or relationships are just reflections of God -- He's got all those good traits and even created them in the first place (and created all those good-looking, godly guys too;) ...but it's so hard to remember for some reason. :(
pretty cool that God undistracted you, btw :) (I didn't know it was possible, but I guess all things are possible with Him!:)
He also inspired all those good-looking, godly guys. :) (sorry, I'll stop now -- just thought of it and thought it's pretty cool:)
I'm glad you got undistracted. Beautiful truth you shared here...
P.S. Mark is going to the Royals game tonight, and he's very excited to see the new (renovated) stadium!!
i hope he has fun!
and going with the He made the flowers for you thought...
why wish for a guy to serenade you, when He created music for you?
I've always loved this song:) The other night our pastor specifically told all the singles in the congregation that the number thing they should want in a spouse is someone who loves Jesus more than they love you. Truthfully, I wish I had embraced that concept BEFORE I married Chris instead of after, but I am so glad I understand it now. I love that you are smarter than I am and figure these things out so much faster than I did. What a blessing!
