No One Like You! (1)
By Ramone - April 5, 2006
"There is none like You
No one else could touch my heart like You do
I could search for all eternity long
and find there is none like You."
We've worshipped God with these words, but then He suddenly turned them around on me, and I can barely fathom the depths of His love for me!
"There is no one like you
No one else could touch My heart like you do
I could search for all eternity long
and find there is no one like you!"
The cherry blossom ("sakura") blooms in the early springtime for only two weeks, maybe, and then the blossoms fall to the ground. When the sakura bloom in Japan, we don't want to miss it -- we want to do everything we can to enjoy it while its here. The Japanese love the sakura blossoms (and so do I!).
I thought this is like how God loves us. He has waited and watched through all eternity for our arrival, for our blooming. He waited and watched for you, not wanting to miss you. He died to purchase you! He bought the whole tree, the whole ground! And when your blossoms fall, He bends down to collect you, each one, not wanting any one to be lost or forgotten.
Your life is a precious, long-awaited blossom to Him. Your time is short here before you fall, but He has waited for all eternity to see you, and wants to enjoy you and catch you & me when our time is finished. You are precious and loved, eternally loved.
Touch our hearts, Jesus, with Your love for us. How is it that You can say we're more precious to you than these beautiful blossoms? That You've awaited us for all eternity?
