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!!!
