Listening to:
Song: Head Over Heels(In This Life)
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: Oh Gravity
Tonight I’m just letting these word become me:
In this life You’re the one place I call home
In this life You’re the feeling I belong
In this life You’re the flower and the thorn
You’re everything that’s fair in love…and war
It hits me because in this life He’s all these things to me. When I have nowhere to belong or no one to belong to it is so sweet to know I am always his. Lately I’ve become good at crying or rather owning up to it, and I’ll be honest with you tonight I just want to bawl…ugly cry it out. I am totally broken in love…broken in His love for me and broken in His love I see played out in the “glory glimpses” throughout humanity (or dogality haha).
I watched Marley and Me tonight and thought…what love. It’s unconditional and unrelenting…hmm much like someone else know. Then my mom said this and I instantly thought of Jesus.
They(dogs) love you even when you treat them badly.
Oh how many times have I treated him badly (God that is). I have saught my own way, loved something more, become self-absorbed, or just outright abandoned him and left him in the dust. To count the times would take an eternity. And all along I hear him sing the same refrain:
If you find her tell her that I love her. If you find her tell her heart to come.
Oh His love is so deep. The ocean is only a puddle in comparison. I just want to love him back…truly.
