This past February, Valentine’s Day to be specific, I was asking (complaining to) God if He could show me what it’s like to have a real, flesh and blood husband. Someone who could sing me love songs and send flowers and be romantic. I was feeling lonely because of Valentine’s Day and I just voiced my feelings to God, really thinking that He couldn’t. Romance. I’ve had so little of it in my life. Will it ever happen? I know God is my husband, but sometimes I just want a real body. Someone to “woo” me, especially on Valentine’s day. God is Spirit. How can He give me goose bumps like a real flesh’n blood man might?
To my great surprise, the next day, although Valentine’s Day was past, He sent me the best Valentine’s Day gift ever. God had some station on the radio that I never listen to but just happened to be listening to that day, broadcast Him, yes, this station was broadcasting God Himself! And, He was singing to me! Thankfully, while I was in my car I hadn’t yet pulled out of the driveway, because I was very weak-knee’d and blushing – verklempt even. God was singing Nat King Cole’s, “Unforgettable” to me, and I knew that I knew that it was for me!!! I was blushing just as if a real boyfriend had been sitting next to me with flowers and chocolates and telling me I was unforgettable. I quite knew it was God when He sang how incredible it was that someone as unforgettable as me thought He was unforgettable too! “Forever more, that’s how you’ll stay…” Forever. Eternity. Wow…my God, my husband was wooing me, I was blushing, tears dripping off my cheeks. His presence in the car was intimate and it was just us two. He called me, “Darling.” Hearing this most magnificent voice come through the speakers. What a wonderful man to do that for me. I still get excited when I think of Him answering my call so vividly and quickly. He didn’t want me to be or feel alone this Valentine’s Day.
So here I am this evening, listing to Nicole Mullen’s rendition of “My Redeemer Lives” and I can’t think of a better song to sing back to God, my husband. He is not only, “Unforgettable,” but He lives! “I’ve talked with Him this morning, How awesome He is – He tells the ocean how far it can go, He shows the moon where to hide till evening. His words alone can catch a falling star. How impressed I am with Him. All of creation testifies, this life within me cries….I know my redeemer lives. He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak. The same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken, they conquered death to bring me victory. He lives to take away my shame! Forever I’ll proclaim, My Redeemer Lives.”
I’m filled with love for Him this evening. My heart overflows. I adore Him. He amazes me. Tonight, this song captures my heart for my heavenly husband.
