Good Morning Love…It Is My Favorite Love Song…
Psalm 63:1-3 (New King James Version)
1 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Today’s Message in the Music is John Legend’s “Good Morning.” I recently heard this song, and it struck my very soul. The lyrics in the first verse are “Good morning, Good morning love, It's my favorite love song, I waited all night long, Before you get into the shower, Before you worry about your hair, Baby give me one more hour, I want you to stay right there, I don’t wanna lose a moment,” I began to think of my mornings. I began to think of how many mornings, I had missed saying Good Morning to my first love, because I was not purposeful in my efforts to express my love. But I could also remember the times when I was so in love with God that nothing and I mean nothing stood between my times with Him.
All of us can relate to being in love with someone at one time in our lives or another. We go to bed with the individual on our minds and they are the first thing that we think about when our eyes open. We crave the very essence of the individual. We can’t wait to see them smile or hear their voice. When we were Newlyweds they never looked bad to us not even first thing in the morning, they were still so cute, or beautiful. It was hard, a near impossibility to break away from them and want to embark upon the normal drudgeries of the day. We did not want to lose a moment with them, especially first thing in the morning, before we started our day. We wanted them to know that they had our full attention, even if it was just for that moment before you began work, or our normal responsibilities. What a wonderful blissful feeling. For many of us it was that feeling that carried us through our day and made our days palatable and gave us the ability to function.
If an individual can make us feel that way, and they have imperfections and issues, how much more can God, who is perfect and without issues make us feel? There is a song by Jonathan Butler that comes to mind and every time I hear it, it catapults me into a place of worship, tears and remembrance; it is entitled, “Falling In Love With Jesus,” it is in that falling in love with God, through His son Jesus that affords us the opportunities of intimacy, it gives us those motivators that push us to want to seek Him out before we do anything else. When we fall in love with God we realize the benefits of not losing those precious, irreplaceable moments, first thing in the morning that can set the time and the standard for our day. We do not realize that God wants us to seek Him first, He wants us to love on him first, and He wants to have our undivided attention before the pressures of everyday life come into greet us. He wants our untainted, focused love.
Today, is already begun, but purpose in your mind, your heart, your soul and your spirit to get back to being in love with God, not just loving Him, when it is convenient or when we have time. But we should purpose in our hearts to be intentional with our love and how we show God that we love Him. Let Good Morning Love, become our favorite love song to the Father. Let Him Love you and you love Him in the first moments of your day. There really is no other way to start a day, but being loved by the best lover there is…God through His son Jesus!
