Not being talented when it comes to music doesn't keep me from enjoying it. For the most part, it's all beautiful to me, especially when creative authors have lyrics with deeper (or parallel) meanings. I guess that's what I find so beautiful in my relationship with God. For so long, I lived in a cage, thinking God was stale, and unapproachable, until He opened my eyes to see the parallel world He speaks, all through His Word.
Honestly, I feel special, but the same relationship with Life is present for everyone. I remember some time back, when seeking council from my pastor at the time, I asked if he could also see God beginning to move and desiring to Love everyone. He leaned back in his chair and gave me what I consider the most awesome council I have ever received, "God was either beginning to move and Love everyone; -OR- I was just now getting in on it" (thank you Dr. Bill Haywood). The depth of those few words brought meaning to all the things I was hearing from God. He (God) had been speaking to me all along, just like any awesome song lyric.
At our core, there is a secret language of Love, where no interpretation is needed, and if we listen closely to the events of our lives, we can hear a small, still voice, inviting us to fellowship with the Creator of All. The parallel meanings of this simple truth are written into every verse;
- from the mourning of a loved one passing, to a little baby being formed in the belly of loving parents
- from a gently breeze on your face, to the converging of forces creating deadly storms
- from a long conversation with an old friend to the betrayal of that same friendship.
God is Love and speaks through all creation.
