God wants you to hear his music.
He has a rhythm that will race your heart and lyrics that will stir your tears. You want to journey to the stars? He can take you there. You want to lie down in peace? his music can soothe your soul.
But first, he's got to get rid of that country-western stuff.
And so he begins tossing the CDs.
A friend turns away. The job goes bad. Your spouse doesn't understand. The church is dull. One by one he removes the options until all you have left is God.
He would do that? Absolutely. "The Lord disciplines those he loves." (Heb 12:2)
If he must silence every voice, he will. He wants you to hear his music. He wants you to discover what David discovered and to be able to say what David said.
"you are with me"
God is for you. Your parents may have forgotten you, your friends may have neglected you; but within reach of your prayers is the maker of the oceans, God!
God is for you. Not "may be", not "has been" not "was", not "would be", but "God is!"
His loyalty won't increase if you are better nor lessen if you are worse. He is for you.
Can your purpose be taken or your value dimished? No.
God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so.
