He's Just That Into Me!

I found myself watching a movie on TV called, "He's Just Not That Into You." While I DO NOT RECOMMEND the movie, I found it humorous that many girls (and guys for that matter) will invent any excuse to avoid the truth of rejection. We don't want to believe that the guy/girl of our infatuation doesn't return the attraction. In the movie, a girl ignores all of the obvious signs that the guy does not like her and continues to place herself in awkward positions that leave her confused and feeling rejected. There are so many directions we could go from here, but it has been a theme in my life over the last few weeks that there is ONE who is just that into me!

Zephaniah 3:17 says, 

"The LORD your God is with you,
   the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
   in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
   but will rejoice over you with singing.”

The word "gul" in Hebrew is usually translated "rejoice." It means to "spin around under the influence of a violent emotion."

I love the idea that my Savior is so overwhelmed with emotion over me that He is singing and dancing over me! In the midst of chaos and trouble He is not just my Savior, but my lover! He takes delight in me! 

Two thoughts whelm at this idea:

1. I have not shown Him that I'm that into Him!

2. I am in awe that He loves me anyway!

I love the words of the song written by Jared Anderson, performed here by Phillips, Craig & Dean.

The lyrics:

You dance over me,
While I am unaware.
You sing all around,
But I never hear the sound.
Lord, I'm amazed by you
Lord, I'm amazed by you
Lord, I'm amazed by you
How you love me.
You paint the morning sky
With miracles in mind
My hope will always stand
For you hold me in your hand
Lord I'm amazed by you
Lord I'm amazed by you
Lord I'm amazed by you
How you love me.
Lord I'm amazed by you
Lord I'm amazed by you
Lord I'm amazed by you
How you love me.
How wide, how deep, how great, is your love for me.
How wide, how deep, how great, is your love for me.

Lord I'm amazed by you
Lord I'm amazed by you
Lord I'm amazed by you
How you love me.
Lord you love me.

He's Just that Into You, too!
