So, I was driving down the road with Kirsten tonight, about to be bombarded by my mad sisters, but as we were driving we were listening to the radio. The song, How Many Kings, by Downhere came on. I like that song, it's cool. My brother has it on his iPod and I've heard it before, then tonight it made me think. My favorite line in the song goes, "How many gods have poured out their hearts to romance a world that is torn all apart?" That made me stop and think.
We are studying ancient Egypt in my humanities class and I was taken aback by how many gods they had. They were constantly trying to please all of them at one time and to make it into the afterlife with all of their stuff. I am so glad that I know the truth, that I do not have to wonder if I got it right. I know that there is one God, and He came to romance this world that is all torn apart. He poured out His heart in the sense that we have His word and we have His love letter to the world. I love the imagery that the artists set up. I love the phrase to romance the world. That is exactly what God did. He came to this earth because He loves us and He is everyday being the Lover of my soul. He is my King that is one day coming back for His bride. He is everything and because of that I live my life for Him.

Emily, I was just talking about in class today how we are God's "Bride" and what you just said is a great picture of it. And it's true - it's like he's loving a world that has turned away from Him.
