No One But You
Do you have a relationship with the love of your life that will stand the test of time? A type of relationship that others are envious of the love that reciprocates? A love that sees through your flaws and sees the person you are meant to be, but not the person you sometimes are? A love that is totally one sided most of the time?
I’ve never been one to chase after romantic affiliations. It seems that the few times I ran the path, I quickly asked where am I running? Am I running through this woodsy trail because I want that person to run through life with me or am I hiking through the hills and valleys because everyone else on the planet seems to be walking it? And for the sake of normality I guess I need to as well.
It’s taken many years to realize that the path that 99% of the world is on (it’s seems that high to me) is not the path that beckons at my heart. My family may not understand. My friends may look at me odd. The world may come up with wrong conclusions for my reasoning. And after 38 years, I’m okay with wrong conclusions. Because I know the true one.
I often wondered did God leave something out? That piece in my DNA that longs for affection. That missing puzzle piece that God must have misplaced and after not finding it decided, well, he’ll survive.
These are thoughts I’ve had often.
I’ve wondered am I different? Am I odd? Am I strange? And looking around the world, yes is the only answer that causes my mind to stop racing. But the answer that gives me peace isn’t an answer I tell myself. It’s a whisper that God speaks over me time and again.
I sometimes think that maybe I am content with my single life because the love Christ has for me overwhelms me sometimes to states of euphoria. It takes me to a place that is so far out of my understanding I don’t even try to figure it out. When I commune with my God, it’s as if, I feel whole. Those questions of am I different vanish and I can hear God sometimes laugh and answer, You are very different, but I love you anyways.
I’m not saying my relationship with God is better than yours. Please don’t take it that way. God created us all uniquely different. I’m just saying that maybe God created me this way for a purpose. Maybe He knew that if I found that special someone I wouldn’t be looking for Him. And that gives me a peace that causes my mind to run faster with endless good possibilities.
A current song that resonates to me and I keep replaying is “No One But You” by Hillsong Worship on the Awake album.
You may think you have the best relationship with someone, but God is better than you could ever imagine. It’s good to have earthly relationships, but none should go above your relationship with God. Would your spouses love you if they knew every thought, every deed, every word? It may be hard for them, but God’s Love is limitless. It is freely given with no strings attached. It is generous and abundant. It is good and everlasting. He sees the gunk we have in our life and yet loved us more and more. Even more than we love ourselves. May this song speak louder than my words. May God wrap you with arms of love. But when you feel of that amazing love, give it right back. He deserves so much even though we can only give a fraction of what He deserves.
Who can melt the hardest heart
And speak life into my soul
Who can spin the world around
And hold me ever close
Who can search the depths of me
And love me to the core
Who controls the world I see
And walks me through it all
No one but You
No one but You
Who has made the righteous bright
Who has paved my way with grace
Loved me through my darkest hours
A thousand different ways
No one but You
No one but You
I’ll sing of Your love
I can’t get enough
I just want You
The Lord of my soul
King of my heart
Jesus it’s You
Hear the oceans roar
See the skies light up
Every heart now
Sing to the Lord
Hear the rocks cry out
See the mountains bow
Every heart come
Worship the Lord
No one, no one
No one, no one
No one Lord but You
May God become the Lord of your soul and the King of your heart. And may you learn to say those words with a true and loving heart. I’m still working on it. Peace
