Something Beautiful
27/09/08 Filed in: Personal
OK, for some of my new pre-believing
friends :) Allow me to indulge in some beautiful faith and the
power of that faith in Jesus to heal.
Today was my birthday. Thank you :)
Almost 2 years ago I was "sold a bill of goods", and for all intents and purposes, left standing at the altar by a girl that had set off so many red flags, those closest to me had warned me not to ‘go there’. I didn't listen, and I paid a heart-breaking price.
At the time it happened, a rock group I liked, Newsboys, had released a new single called Something Beautiful. The lyrics which I’ll paste below ripped me apart and made me a limp mess every time I heard them on the radio or on my iPod as I had just bought their latest CD. You can see why:
NEWSBOYS - Something Beautiful
I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
I wanna new beginning
One without an end
I feel it inside
Calling out to me
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful
I've heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I've felt it in a long hour
Like a sweet embrace
I know this is true
It's calling out to me
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful
It's the child on her wedding day
It's the daddy that gives her away
Something beautiful
When we laugh so hard we cry
all the love between you and I
Something beautiful
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful
It's the child on her wedding day
It's the daddy that gives her away
Something beautiful
When we laugh so hard we cry
It's the love between you and I
Something beautiful
Something beautiful
Today while listening to iTunes on random play, it played. This time I had a different reaction. I turned it up. Loud. Really loud. AND THEN I PLAYED IT AGAIN. It's playing right now.
There’s a passage in the Bible that talks about God turning around what our enemies meant for evil, and making something beautiful of it. I can say 21 months later, God HAS made something beautiful out of something just plain bad. I get this weird compliment/insult fairly often. Someone will ask, Israel, how can someone so smart believe in a loving God? Today the Lord gave me a birthday present I never asked for, but so badly needed. And that is why, I believe in a real and loving God. He’s something beautiful.
