Last night on the way home, Daniel and I were listening to songs on his iPod. I heard this one song that stuck out to me. It's called "Beloved" and it's by Tenth Avenue North.
Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need.
Give me your life,
Lust and the lies
The past you're afraid I might see.
You've been running away from me.
Chorus:
You're my beloved,
Lover I'm yours.
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for.
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our love, it unites us
It binds you to me
It's a mystery
Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
Then you will find what you need
I'm the giver of life
I'll clothe you in white
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh, come running home to me.
Chorus
You're my beloved
Forever we'll be
Our love it unites us
It's a mystery
I took this song to be the idea of the Lord being the bridegroom of his people and the church. I've come across this subject a few times recently. We, as young ladies not ready for courtship or marriage, need to be focusing on falling in love with Jesus. It's very easy to be distracted by things of the world, but in this period of our lives, the most important thing we can do is to grow our relationship with the Lord. The Bible compares Christ and the church to a bridegroom and bride. I think that as young women we need to be as, or even more eager and passionate in loving the Lord right now, as we will be in the future in loving our husbands. That's just been in my mind recently, so I thought I'd go ahead and share it with ya'll!
Hope it wasn't too boring! I hadn't really collected all my thoughts about it till now.

By the way, answering Abigail's question from last post, I, Rachel, played a strange sort of bell-ringing creep. I flung my hair over my face, putting on my glasses on top of it, and a black sweater like a shawl over my head, then humped across announcing each scene and ringing my uncle's really meloncholy cow-bell.
ReplyDeleteAt the end I fell in love with Daniel who was "Gadget Guy", and while that went on and I was trying to hug him. I tipped us both over backwards onto the floor. Ahem.
Hey Sarah!! We finally got our internet back. I commented on your last post too, I mean the one that Rachel wrote. I like your post, it had some good points about falling in love with Jesus. That has been my goal over the last year or so: learning to love and know Him like I never have before.
ReplyDeleteMy Dear Sarah, though you are a great many things, boring is not one of them. Exellent post.
