Let me just inform you that I do not listen to Taylor Swift. Not that I have anything against her or anything. I like Taylor Swift. I don't hate her music. It's not like I've never listened to or heard a single Taylor Swift song in my life. I just don't own any Taylor Swift CDs, there isn't Taylor Swift music on my ipod.
Butttttttttttt, in the song Enchanted, there is a part that goes
"Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you."
Now, I've heard this a million times (my sister listens to her) and I've seen it on just about a million people's facebook statuses.
It's just a good line.
Cause isn't that what we want?
Well today it hit me.
I was walking down the hall at my school, and that line was stuck in my head.
Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you.
And then I realized, that is GOD'S cry to US.
You. Me. The people we pass in the hall. The people we work with. Our families. Our friends. The people we see at the store.
Everyone in this world.
See, we belong to Him.
He created us to love Him.
And so many times, we turn to the things of this world.
We look to music. To people. To alcohol. To tv shows. To ANYTHING that will satisfy us for any amount of time.
God is BEGGING us. Please don't be in love with someone else.
Please don't go to bed and text 'til you fall asleep.
Please talk to Me.
Please don't spend all your money on Starbucks and clothes and designer bags and video games when My children are dying of starvation on the streets.
Please don't waste your time listening to and watching things that will only bring you down.
Please read My word. Please worship Me.
When someone asks you about Me, please stand up for me.
Please don't be so in love with yourself that you're afraid what will happen if you're in love with Me.
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Romans 14:8
I think you get the picture.
Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you.
