He Calls Me Friend
I think God gets a kick out of me.
I know I get a kick out of Him.
Yesterday was a great day. I had one of those days that if it were made into a montage it would have "Eye of the Tiger" or the Rocky theme song as the music for it. It was a day that was sorry it ever messed with me.
Now today I wake up with a heavy heart. A heart that is saddened over abortion. I am so sad that over 1 million babies lost their lives this year in America with mothers citing a main reason as social factors, which primarily meant that didn't want the baby. I'm so grieved about this. Then to add insult to injury, the main research group for abortion statistics have put out this nice little video explaining how abortions are necessary and they need to be covered in publicly-funded health care so that the poor can get the "operation."
So as I'm sitting here today pondering all this, I'm thinking about yesterday and how awesome I felt. I felt like I could take over the world yesterday and today I am heavy. Now don't get me wrong, I have the joy of the Lord. I am just burdened for America today. As I'm thinking about this, I started to feel a little bit crazy. It's like man, Mariah one day you're on top of the world and the next you're on the brink of tears over abortion. It sounds a little manic. Then I started to think about how the Lord really gave me my emotions. He knows that if I feel something, I really feel it. Every little bit of it. So in the midst of me feeling nuts, I could really feel the Lord. I felt His approval. His pleasure.
You know when something happens to you and you're really excited about it and want to tell someone but you know it's not something everyone will get, so you call that one person that will totally get it because you want someone to share the experience with you? That's how I felt like the Lord was looking at me today. I felt like as I was talking to the Lord telling Him how crazy America is getting, He's looking saying "I know!!" It's like the Lord knows He can give me feelings and emotions and burdens and I can share with Him, even if it's the tiniest bit, in what He's feeling. Today I felt like a friend of the bridegroom. It was a great feeling, albeit a heavy feeling, but a great one nonetheless.
That's why I think God gets a kick out of me.
