Stand Inside Your Love

The title reference of this blog is a song by the Smashing Pumpkins--a secular rock band that I just find awesome. This particular song is the best song by them that I have heard. I did a little analysis of it and thought I'd post a few of my comments from it.

On another level, it (the song) begs the question in my head--why doesn't one want to stand inside my love? I seldom let my mind explore this question as the first time I did this, it ruined the song for me as well as cast a huge shadow of doubt upon myself. It is a general question that plagues me daily--sometimes more than others, but a question that I continually try and turn over to God and let things be. I do my part, and pray for the rest. I cannot force another to love, much like God cannot force us to love Him. It wouldn't be a pure love--it would be a robotic, pre-programmed love that has no meaning. But to freely give of your love to another and to "stand inside" that love--how amazing is that!?!?! While I admit, I have had love for another; I don't know that I've actually stood inside that love. I stand within God's love daily and absolutely adore it; being continually showered by His grace, wisdom and so much more. How great a day it'll be when I can do the same with another; together--side by side; inside each other's love within Gods perfect love being surrounded and carrying us to places inside ourselves not able to journey alone!

Such a joy to find meaning in music--especially music not expressly written for God; but perhaps, all music is done in His name--but in ways just not fully understood or comprehended by those who write it, perform it, or even listen to it? Ummm....
