Fire.

Okay, I have another song for you. I don't care what you think of this song, I absolutely LOVE it!! I don't know why, I just think it's wonderful.

It's this guy singing about this girl that he is into. He talks about the fact that she is not just into any guy, she is waiting for the 'one' and she is not prepared to compromise. I just love this whole scenario, how someone can just want to wait so patiently and strongly for someone they may never have met before...someone who they know they will love immensely even though they are not yet together.

How is it people can wait like that?? How can people be so sure they will meet that someone who will fill them with desire?? I don't know really, I guess this is an act of faith isn't it!? I mean, I waited for my man, maybe not as patiently and strongly as I should have, but I still waited without compromise and I believe that I and also he will be blessed because of that.

'Lots of guys have been up to her but she told them she was waiting,

For the one that God sent to fulfill her kind of craving,

A special kind of loving...

Everytime that I look into your eyes I see fire in there,
And if you look into my eyes you see desire in there...
I can't believe she's still a virgin,

Lots of guys have been up to her but there was no compromising,

She'd been strong,

She'd been keeping herself until the day of her wedding,

Under the right ceiling,

With the right person,
A person deserving of her special kind of loving.'

You might think that these lyrics are really cheesy and not so good to dance to in a club, well, I agree, but don't you think they mean something real?! People now are so driven to fulfill their desire. They just want that satisfaction and will do anything to bring it straight away. People are so into this quick fix way of life, that they aren't actually prepared to wait and fight anymore.

Someone was discussing about whether or not arranged marriages are better, I think this was due to the fact that these sort of marriages tend to last. Do you know why they last though?! Because the people in these marriages are not prepared to let their marriage sink. They are not prepared to bring a sudden quick fix ending to their troubles and challenges. These people are all about marriage and making it last, after all, shouldn't marriage be for an eternity?!

In the Bible, God often refers to us as His Bride. He is the Groom and we, the church, are the Bride. This is representing that we are bound with Him in marriage...we are bound with Him forever...that is what marriage is...marriage is forever.

' "In that day," declares the Lord, "you will call me 'my husband'; you will no longer call me 'my master'...I will betroth you to me FOREVER; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness..." ' Hosea 2 v 16 - 20

Don't you want to be like the girl in the song?? The one who doesn't compromise?? Don't you want to be the man singing the song?? Waiting for this lady who has saved everything just for him??

Don't just give everything for no-one. Wait and fight for what you truly desire and what you know will bring blessings of love. Love is about fire, about desire and about lasting for an eternity.

'...do not throw your pearls to the pigs...' Matthew 7 v 6

'Praise the Lord...who satisfies your desires with good things...' Psalm 103 v 1 - 5

Take hold of the truth and let it consume you.
