Wanted...(PART 2)

Yesterday I touched on parts of the song and a few things God revealed to me. Today I want to go deep within the word of God, break down different parts of the song that God shined light on and hopefully by end of this you will know without a shadow of doubt that you are wanted!!!!

Dictionary.com defines want as "to feel a need or a desire for; wish for" and "to wish, need, crave, demand or desire". The thesaurus states that the synonyms for wanted are asked for, necessary, needed and requested. Bare with me because I am just trying to lay a foundation so you can fully understand God's feelings towards you. My pastor has always tells me that when you go deep within the meanings of words and break things down you will understand on a whole new level. Now the definition for necessary is being essential, indispensable or requisite. Just a few of the synonyms for necessary are all-important, crucial, imperative, indispensable, needed, needful, pressing, required, significant, urgent and vital. WOW!!!! Now keep in mind that yesterday I stated that God wants us to understand that we are wanted by Him. So, by definition, we are crucial, indispensable, significant and vital to God! TAKE THAT DEVIL!!!!! 

If you are like me, this has not been the case at ALL in your life! I have been down graded and demeaned all of my life. I have been told how I am not important, how I am not special and worst of all how unneeded I am. I was just another person taking up space! But my God that it so far from the truth it is ridiculous. First of all, do you really think God would take the time to count the hairs on our head(Luke 12:7, Matthew 10:30) if we weren't important to Him? I mean come on, who pays that much attention to detail on something that is insignificant? NOBODY! In Psalm 139:14 we are told that we are fearfully and wonderfully made! Now how can something that is wonderfully made be "worthless"? How can it be that we can feel not needed, unimportant, not special, etc? You see the lies that people and the enemy tell us are so far fetched that it should be impossible to believe. Unfortunately, words are such a powerfully weapon and if used wrong they can destroy people. If we are not so wrapped up in God's word, what others define us as will become our truth. 

Now at other points in the song the lyrics say "any one can tell you your pretty, and you get that all the time, I know ya do, but your beauty's deeper than the make-up...I wanna make you feel better, better than your fairy tales, better than your best dreams, your more than everything". When God spoke to me on this part I just wanted to cry because for anyone that doesn't know, God can speak to your heart like no one else can but you must stop to listen! God said, "this is a love song and that's all great but do you forget that I am the lover of your soul! I can and am willing to give you every ounce of love and affection you could ever possibly want but I wont force myself on you. I am so much better than a love song, I am that I am! I am all that you could ever need. I am more than just some words of a song, I am the action! I am the greatest love story ever told! And guess what, I love you with everything in me! I choose you every time! You are not an after thought, but a planned out purpose in my greater plans. You are so much in my eyes and I want you to feel it. I want you to feel wanted." Whew!!! How great is that! Even greater is that this is not just His feelings towards me! He wants you to feel this too! He wants to make you feel wanted. He wants to hold your hand. He wants you to know your worth! You are so much more than what this world tells you that you are.

 My prayer for everyone that reads this is that you will get in touch with who God says you are! I pray that you would shut out the lies for good. I pray that you would understand you are wonderful. You are beautiful. You are special! You are needed! Your life has meaning and a purpose. You are WANTED!!!!!

Wanted...(PART 1)

Music is a very powerful thing in today's world. Songs have the power to be mood setters. I feel no matter what the genre, if the words move me, a song can really bring light into dark areas! You see, I choose to listen to the words behind the music. I search for the message in a song. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am NOT a huge fan of country music. I am, however, a fan of music and any song with the right message has the power to capture my attention and possibly open a door for me to hear from God! You see my pastor always tells us that you can find God everywhere if you just look. Today, I found God in a country song and I'd like to share with you what He showed me.

Today I was doing my, what I like to call, music search! LOL. I forewarned you that I love music so don't judge me, but usually every couple of months I'll get on YouTube and find songs to download. I love adding to my music library! Today in particular I was only downloading gospel and I started with Britt Nicole and a few other artist that have played in the past few weeks at church during worship. (Side note: If you are struggling with not feeling like you are where you should be I STRONGLY suggest you listen to Britt Nicole's song "The Sun is Rising") Just as I was drawing a blank and didn't know what artist to search next I hear "I wanna make you feel wanted". Very random, I know, but this is not the first nor the last time this will happen to me because as I told you above you can find God anywhere. So the first thing I do, as I have in times past, is go to google and type in "I wanna make you feel wanted" and sure enough a song pops up in the results! Not only does it come up, it is the ONLY result that popped up on the first page! Whew, talk about God trying to make sure I didn't miss this one!

I am the type of person that has a deep desire to be loved, almost borderline "needy"! Hey, if you can't be honest you can't get free! This desire fuels an even deeper desire which is a desire to be married! I want a man that loves me so strong that he never wants to be with any one else. I want a man that WANTS to spend the rest of his life with me! I want to, as the song states, feel wanted. God used this song to not only speak to my desires, but to open my eyes to the very truth that I have over looked time and time again. We are wanted!!!!!

In the song, the artist states "I wanna wrap you up, wanna kiss your lips, wanna make you feel wanted, And I wanna call you mine, wanna hold your hand forever and never let you forget it"! Whew, what girl doesn't want that? Deep down what girl doesn't want that type of attention, that type of feeling but most of all that type of affection. Guess what? God is longing to be that man! That man that holds our hand through even the hardest of times. He wants to be that man that we think of first, the one whom we can't sleep without saying good night to. God wants to be our first choice not come sloppy seconds to the men of this world!

Then God asked me how do you expect to succeed in a marriage if you cant even love Me, the creator of love, without reserve! If you hold back from Me, the one who should have your all, you will hold back from your husband. If you cant let me love you, you will never let another man love you...at least not the way you deserve.

TO BE CONTINUED.....

Be sure to come back tomorrow for PART 2....where I will reveal all of what God spoke and remind you of exactly how wanted and loved you are!!!
