Don't be so hasty - Meg Blanckenberg and Geraldine Jacobs (Original Song)

This song was written out of a heart that struggled being distracted by human love and marriage. What we came to understand, a proud and lustful heart.

Both my friend, Geraldine, and I have always known that marriage is something we look forward to, but it started consuming us to the point of taking our eyes away from Jesus.

1 John 5:12 "Little children, keep yourselves from idols."

Colossians 3:5 "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and covetousness, which is idolatry."

I lived through times of desperate loneliness, and that's not what God has promised us as believers. He said that He will dwell with us. Jesus should consume our thoughts, not marriage and men.

Job 36:11 "If they obey and serve Him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment."

John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and the Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him.""

My eyes were taken of my Saviour and put onto any man that showed enough interested and potential. I didn't go around throwing myself at men, but I did get very, very distracted by them.
I asked questions like "Lord, when is it my turn?" "Lord, but all my friends have partners! Why not me!?" "Is there something wrong with me?"

Proverbs 14:30 "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones."

Here is part of a journal entry of mine to my future husband, before this song was written. Yes, it'll sound melodramatic to some, but I have a feeling it might strike a chord with others.

"I can see the moon light up the sea from my bed, because there aren't any curtains on my windows. The clear sky makes for an absolutely perfect night and I catch myself getting butterflies at God's beautiful creation, but I have no one to show it to. I have no one to share an awe filled gasp with. I have no moon lit face to look into. I have no hand to hold, no one to smile at, but my new empty friend - darkness. My whole body craves a somebody. Warmth that an empty room will never be able to provide.
I know that a relationship is far more than that. I know a lot of things. I know that I shouldn't be wasting my time daydreaming about you. I know that I should be focusing on Yahweh. I know that my soul should be craving for my Savior, but yet my chest hurts because it's longing for you.
Just a hug. Just one hug and I'll be able to go to sleep, but loneliness keeps me awake."

Human love will never satisfy us completely, it's unfair to think our partners can do that for us. Only Jesus can. He must be our all and our everything, and a partner on top of that will be a blessing.

Matthew 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

Phillipians 4:19 "And my God will supply every need of yours according to the riches in glory in Jesus Christ."

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."

I am still growing in this area... and I think I will continue to for a very long time.
