That night as I walked home, I indulged in my own playlist.
All the previous songwriters had a nugget of truth in their compositions. Human love is beautiful and frail. At its best, it consumes, and at its worst, it destroys. It fails to be the ultimate solace, and yet, in some ways, it is the best impersonation of what our souls truly desire. Because we were made for Love. We were made for God. And as I listened to my soundtrack, I found one more proof that we were made for God. Our souls find what all those musicians kept searching for, but we find it in Christ. Not just when we are walking in close fellowship with our Savior -- but each time we come crawling back after repenting of our rebellion. Not just when we are experiencing emotional highs in our relationship with Christ -- but in the darkest seasons of suffering. "Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in Thee." -- St. Augustine, Confession, Book 1 Comments are closed.
