Hidden Truthes

In April before i went to India i was staying at my friends house and i felt like God was really speaking to me through the lyrics of a secular song. It might not seem that much of a biggy but at the time it really hit me about how we get so caught up in the romantic notions of our heads that we miss that the Greatest love story ever told is that of Jesus and his love for his bride the church which we are a part of!

The Turtles - Happy Together ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnNIx-NRdoI&feature=related )
Might sound like a funny song to think wow that's Gods affection for me but it really hit me how depending on the Lord is such a gift of his love and if we depend on him the way he wants us to in his love that it is all worth it.

When lookin for a link with the words i found this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDQ5kt4BYnI&feature=related ) which is a flobot version which really amused me because its like from the simplicity about a song that is jus about how a love was predestined and just untimely and right to over complicating it and making it so much more complicated than God intended it to be.

It encourages us to indulge in our sinful hearts, reenforcing that are adulterous and make us think that what we feel can lead our lifes when in God we have to know that somethings are true despite our feelings, and that despite the fluctuations of our affections, Gods love is all we need to hold on to and that when we have lost that that is when we truely have nothing.

The Hoosiers - Clinging on for Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzLKMuyonqw )
When i have listened to this song ive always loved how meldious it is. Then last night i was getting ready for bed n i literally couldnt get it out of my head.
It really hit me when i was listening to it and looking at the lyrics that in our lives it can so easily be about how we are with God and with him as love.

When it speaks of Love - "I need you to reach me, teach me, how to love" God is love we cant learn about him if we dont draw close to him. and we cant truely love people without his love in our lives.

I also feel like the reason we need to "cling on for life" is because in our lives it is so easily to get distracted by other things that take our attention off God things that we need to cling on to his love to live the lives he intended for us.

Then when it says about how "made enough mistakes between the two of us to sink this thing" despite it being in the plural giving shared blame i think we can often miss that it is our own faults, like now im realising yes i have screwed up majourly yet again but at the same time the Lord has given me the strength and the faith to cling on for life that i would truly depend on him and know that despite everything he still loves me and i can still draw close to him.

I think its awesome how vast the Love of God is and how despite everything we can see snippits of his love in things all around us even in secular song lyrics.

Praise the lord oh my soul, may i praise the name of the lord all the days of my life and rejoice in his blessings and grace through every trial, that i may grow in faith and dependance on him and his awesome love amen.
