This rather macabre psalm gets
referenced in one of my very favourite pieces of music ever: Brahms
Requiem. Without the music I don't know if I'd understand the
poem; I highly recommend taking a listen. What is astounding to me
about the love of God is the context of that love. God is not just
head over heals in love with us, but he is head over heals in love
with us in spite of a myriad of obstacles. We were sinners, we were
insignificant, we were even God's enemies, and still, with total
determination God has pursued us, and never stops pursing us. Our
lover is incredible and relentless, the Hero of whom all great lovers are only a pale imitation.
May you rest in the loving hand of the
God who loves you and has measured out your days.
You have have a listen to the Requiem
verse on
Grooveshark.
If you really like it you can buy it on
Amazon.
You are God....
ReplyDeleteIt's flattering of you to say so, but I am really quite certain that I'm not. Please don't think I've not considered the possibility, but it fails to be a convincing or attractive prospect. God lives in me, and is transforming me into his image, and I am a member of the body of Christ. There is, understandably, some overlap, between God and I, but I assure you I am only a redeemed human.
