My heart is Spoken For
July 13, 2009“Take this world from me.. I don’t need it anymore. I am finally free.. my heart is spoken for..” -Mercy Me
I love that line: “my heart is spoken for.” It’s beautiful. I think what’s unfortunate is the fact that many of us don’t understand the weight of that line. If we truly grasped that our hearts were spoken for, then we would no longer desire for the world. It seems to be the other way around: we are aware that the Lord has spoken over our hearts.. but we don’t want the world to be taken away from us, because we still wanna wade in the water a bit. We have one foot in the world and the other in “religion.”
MercyMe made such a bold statement when they wrote this line: “take this world from me.. I don’t need it anymore.. I am finally free.. my heart is spoken for.” Did you catch that? “I am finally free”.. do you know how many people are searching for this TRUE freedom. Freedom from government, sin, drugs, alcohol, adultery, pornography, the world, etc. The list is endless isn’t it?? Friends, that is the only thing the world can offer us.. a place for temporary satisfaction. The question that should be asked is, is this truly good enough for you?? Is that what God willed when He gave Himself up on the Cross in the form of His Son.. to us.. underserving recipients who STILL can’t seem to grasp the concept of the Cross in our own lives??
As people, we are constantly trying to find new methods of freedom and independence, and the more we search outside of God’s ways, the more we become enslaved to the world around us. I’m beyond grateful to know that in the midst of our rebellion and pride, the Lord continues to remind us that He has already spoken over us: clean and His.. completely His. Thanks Jesus for the reminders..
