I been up for two whole days thinkin' what I did to keep you goin'Thumbin' through the voicemails that you left me tellin' me where I went wrongI'll admit I'm sorry when I feel I'm truly sorryThings change, people change, feelings change tooNever thought the circumstances woulda changed youYou said you never traded no Yeah you said thatAnd I believed you when they told me don't Yeah thought you meant thatBut either way you're still invited and I can't even lie to you But Christians are called to continuously humble ourselves first with the understanding that we are all the same we all need community, mercy, forgiveness, acceptance, help, and attention. Even when a relationship is tense, we ideally want peace-as long as we don’t have to be the ones who make amends when we feel wronged. Even in the simple act of coming to Him in hardship or repentance, having recognized our need for Him and the depth of His love, God finds joy.10 This yearning is not greedy but natural in order to create a more fulfilling relationship for both ends. He continuously wants more of your love and commitment.

You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me" He is good,9 so receiving this affection is a gift, and wholeheartedly returning it makes the relationship beautiful. Even if His love is often one-sided, it is undying.8 He does not beg pathetically but instead asks lovingly He loves us that much and chooses to continue loving us. So, in patient dedication, God asks for our love and attention. Despite how we throw Him to the curb and use Him whenever we want, He has endless patience6 and is always present.7 But, God is also saddened or pleased by different things, and a committed, mutually loving relationship brings Him much joy as it would anyone-even more joy than we could ever experience in our flawed human relationships.Īll she talkin' bout is, "Come and see me for once God won’t state his frustration quite so directly, though that might be warranted if He were a person. You say do I own a watch, do I know what time it is right nowIt's after 2AM and that's askin' a lot of you right now It can be easy to treat him like a late-night, last-minute booty call, and even if you are exclusive, He’s not really included in the rest of your life. We say we love God and reach out to Him when we are in need, but our hearts aren’t really sincere. Often, we do the bare minimum to justify our commitment and interest-church on special occasions or once a week, prayer before meals or once a day, mission trips and charity.

I hit you up like "Do you wanna hang right now?"On the East Side and you know I'm with the gang right now Even when we run away or get lost, He chases after us in love.3 When we hurt Him and come crawling back, He embraces us in shameless, open arms.4 He gives up perfection in order to be with each of us in our imperfection.5 It is desired and might already be given by the other party.To the Christian, God’s commitment is explicit and extraordinary. Giving me the signs so I gotta take a hint nowīut at a certain point, we know when commitment is imminent. Christians struggle with this daily, trying to glorify God in every action and to love not only our neighbors but also our enemies. What is asked of us in intimate relationships can be challenging, especially if we feel insecure. PARTYNEXTDOOR does just that when he plays on the French word “oui,” pronounced “we,” to sarcastically dismiss a deepening relationship. I hear you talkin' 'bout "we" a lot, oh, you speak French now?

When we’ve been hurt, it can seem especially intimidating and “intense,” leading us to shove opportunities away at the slightest glimpse of setting expectations or making promises. It demands trust and active prioritization of who or what you are committing to. just got real, things are gettin' intense nowĬommitment isn’t easy.
