Every once and awhile someone comes along and says something that just absolutely resonates with my soul. I am a firm believer in seeking a relationship with God through His son Jesus Christ, as opposed to just belonging to a church or following some denominational doctrine. To me that is more like having a "religion" but not so much a "relationship" with God.
Sure I go to church, why some of my best friends are church-goers! :-)
Attending church enhances,(or rather should enhance) my relationship with Jesus, but for me, it is no substitute for one on one with God.
Anyway, the song below sung by Jason Gray describes my feelings on the subject in just about as succinct and beautiful way as I've ever heard it defined. It's not as if I've "arrived" at some spiritual "nirvana", it's all just practice for when real living takes place in eternity.
I fall down a whale of alot more than I stand up, I crawl alot more than I walk but it's nice to have the goal of the kind of spiritual life I'm seeking explained as neat as this song.
The words to this song are below, and there is a link to the video at the bottom of this post.
I encourage you to take a couple of minutes and click on the link below to hear it!
I will break them
Give me lines
I will cross them
I need more than a truth to believe
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes
To sweep me off my feet
It ought to be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
Give me words
I'll misuse them
Obligations
I'll misplace them
'Cause all religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free
It's gotta be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
...It's like I'm falling in love, love, love
Deeper and deeper It was love that made
Me a believer In more than a name, a faith, a creed
