"Cause When Your Fifteen and Somebody Tell's You They Love You, Your Gonna Believe Them"
Have you ever had a realization while doing the dishes? Realizations often come to me while administering housework. What a blessing, or I would never have any wisdom! Tonight I was in the kitchen listening to Taylor Swift's song "Fifteen". God uses words of songs to get my attention. The song sent me down memory lane. I would like to share my heart for a moment.
My husband and I met at the age of 15. Looking back it seems like a miracle. God's in the miracle business. We met at Christian camp. The first day we were given secret pals to write throughout the week. The objective was to encourage, support, affirm, and compliment this person. God made Robert my secret pal. At this point there were no romantic feelings. Of course I thought Robert was handsome, but I figured he was out of my league. After camp several months later I received a friendly letter from Robert. The knowledge that Robert remembered who I was made me feel special.
The next summer at camp, God was preparing to teach me His love in ways I had never known. My prayer was that God would finally heal all the emptiness in my heart. I prayed "Lord fill, heal, and restore my heart." God proved Himself faithful and true. The week at camp my heart was broken, mended, and restored. I love it when God answers your prayers, and then gives blessings beyond what you ever imagined. Not only was God showing me His love, He was introducing me to my future husband. I will never forget this one week in my life. It was all powerful. We left camp on Friday, and my heart was forever changed. For the first time in my life I knew the meaning of agape (real) love! My heart was filled to complete fullness.
God taught me the meaning of love at the precious age of 15. Never take your focus off of God. You never know what He has up His sleeve.
