Divine Reciprocity

Last night, we had a worship night at Rodney & Cindy's. And the songs we sang were in English. I love worshiping in Spanish, even though I don't always understand every word... but my heart language is English. And those nights where we worship in English fill a certain place in my heart that gets empty down here.

And as we began the evening, Rodney prayed that as we sang we would hear God singing back to us.

The LORD your God is in your midst,

a mighty One who will save;

He will rejoice over you with gladness;

He will quiet you by His love;

He will exult over you with loud singing.

Zeph 3:17

As the night went on, we moved seamlessly from song to song, and the Holy Spirit showed up. In a big way.

And as we sang the words, "There's no place I'd rather be, than here in Your love," I felt like Jesus pulled up a chair in front of me. And He leaned forward and looked me right in the eyes and said, "There's no place I'D rather be right now, either."

As humans we long to be in relationships that are reciprocal.

When we say, "I love you," we desperately want to hear, "I love you, too."

"I love spending time with you." -- "And I with you."

And here we were.
Lifting our voices to the One who made us.
Proclaiming that there was NO place we'd rather be.
And He said those words we crave.

A divine "Me too."
