Some of you may not know, but my husband has passed. He fought a good fight. Cancer thinks it won, but death has no sting when you have Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior, and he did. He is truly VICTORIOUS! I will miss him horribly, until we meet again.
God really has a sense of humor. I was at the gas station pumping gas, and a song was playing that I just loved back in the day of dating my husband. I couldn’t stop singing it, and no it wasn’t a Christian song. The title is, “what you won’t do for love,” by Bobby Caldwell. I couldn’t believe how God was speaking to me through this song and it’s lyrics.
Back in my dating years, I dated just a few guys, but when I met my husband I fell in love with him. I knew it was different from the others. It’s something you just know. Well after 3 years of dating him he broke it off. I was devastated!! He was my first love, and what I mean by that is I gave myself to him, and him only, intimately. There wasn’t anything that I wouldn’t do to show him how much I loved him. That is why these lyrics just get me: “What you won’t do, do for love. You’ve tried everything and you won’t give up”… Well long story short…. After a long break up he came back to let me know, “gotta thing for you, and I can’t let go.” Then not much later, he asked me to marry him.
So now let me tell you how I see this song spiritually: You will have to listen to it too, and maybe you will see. The lyrics are great!!
Me speaking to God: “I guess You’ve wondered where I’ve been? I searched to find the love within. I came back to let you know. I gotta thing for You and I can’t let go. My friends wonder what is wrong with me. Well, I’m in a daze from Your love you see. I came back to let You know. I gotta thing for You and I won’t let go.” I am now in the GREASTEST love relationship of my life. My true first love.
God has done everything to show me His love. He NEVER gives up showing any of us how much He loves us. He gave His Son to die for us, John 3:16, while we were yet sinners He died, Romans 5:8. He is not willing to lose any of us, John 6: 39. He will try everything and never give up.
Listen to the song and maybe you will see it the way I do to God. If you don’t you will still love the song.
