A friend was talking about her love life with me a while ago. And don't worry this post isn't gonna be about girls. But my friend was telling me how she doesn't like love songs, cause they only show short term emotion. But she said she loves break up songs, because that is real emotion. At first I saw her point but thought she was completely crazy. After all she listens mainly to country music. But as I listen to Christian music we have a similar split in songs. We have "yeah life is so good with my friend Jesus" songs, which are similar to sappy love songs. But there is also "I am a horrible sinner, and my life is nothing without You God" songs, which are similar to a break up song.
I make this point because I have caught myself listening to mainly break up songs with God. And I don't want to break up, but Iove the emotional connection, confessing how I am a sinner, and need God so desperately. Most people would insert a "duh" right here. But although it is true, God sent Jesus down to Earth for a reason, and part of that reason is to make us whole with God. And to not have to log break up songs to get our emotions, but we can sing songs full of emotion that Jesus is my savior and He have His life for me. I like God, and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit a lot. And for Him and through Him I will constants fail, but yet He is right there for me to get back up and continue loving Him.
