Idols
Every generation has it’s idols. I believe that this generation’s idols is relationships. Of course, I have nothing to back this up except my own observations. But it seems that most people I see, both Christian and non-Christians, their value and self-worth is determined by the person that’s on their arm. I’m not saying this is all relationships but a good majority of them.
The focus no longer seems to be “What could I do light their life?” but “This person makes me feel great.”
I worry about that…Will I be the same way? Will I look at my girlfriend (shutter at the thought) and only think worldly things of her? Will she take the place of God in my life, which one of my friends has admitted that she had done? Could it be possible that I’ll love her more than God, if such a thing is even possible?
The ironic thing is that we still value ourselves by money, social status, but now relationships? How could we ever find everything we could ever want, ever need, ever desire in such an earthly relationship?
The thing that I don’t get is how people can waste their time, emotion, and energy on relationships that you know won’t go anywhere.
I’ve begun to relized what God has been trying to tell me all along…It’s not these relationships I should worry about…but the relationship that I have with him. God, will you visit me tonight?
You’re everything I could want that I could need
If I could see you want me, could I believe?
‘Cause you’re perfectly all I want, all I need
If I could jsut feel your touch could I be free?
Why do you shine so, can a blind man see?
Why do you call, do you beckon me?
Can the deaf hear the voice of love?
Would you have me come? Can the cripple run?
Are you the one…to Raise me up from this grave?
Touch my tongue and then I’ll sing
Heal my limbs then joyfully I’ll run to you…
God you’ve done so much…And you’re still not tired to run and find me in the shadows of my world. Your heavenly arms came down and held me. Take me back to you.
You’re everything…
