I have mentioned before that a lot of love songs can become worship songs by simply inserting the word Lord. Lately, I’ve been thinking about this old song by the Ink Spots and raising my hands in praise and worship.
“Only you (Lord) can make the world seem right. Only you (Lord) can make the darkness bright. Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do and fill my heart with love for only you. Only you (Lord) can make this change in me for it is true, you are my destiny. When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do. You’re my dream come true my one and only you.”
So many times each day I pray to God for help and I say, “Only you, Lord!” I can’t make it even a few feet on my walker without Him holding my hand and strengthening my knees.. I can’t find that thing I have misplaced without Him leading me to it. I certainly can’t write this blog without His inspiration and guidance. Since I have become His child and have drawn closer to Him, He has spoiled me (in a very good way). Nothing can compare to the love and care provided to me by my heavenly Father.
The best part of making God our first love is that He encourages His children to love others as He loves us. Many of my prayers have been answered by the kind and loving acts of the wonderful Christian brothers and sisters He has placed in my life. I am also sure that He has dispatched angels on occasion to spiritually protect and support me.
My Christian reader, when we obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit within us, we too become the answer to someone’s prayer. It is our highest calling and an experience that is beyond description. If you haven’t had that experience, ask God to make you sensitive to the needs of others around you. He will not only lead you to them, but He will tell you the words or actions that will answer their prayer, You will be so glad you did. What we do for others we are doing for Him.
