quick fix
“for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part”
these are the vows every married couple makes and i think when they said those vows they really meant it. however, how is it that divorce rates are ever so high in the developing world?
Australia ranks no. 7 in the world for highest divorce rate while Singapore ranks 16.
Everyone nowadays is looking for a quick fix. the mantra of the 21st century seems to be i want it and i want it now. people jump in and out of marriages or even relationship without giving two hoots about it as if it was a piece of clothing. In one season, and out another. Its not just romantic relationships that you see this as well. The way some friendships operate on is ridiculous. If you’re of no value to me, buh-bye. if we get into an argument… i’ll just find new friends. i blame consumerism for this.
Anyhow, i’m glad God doesn’t operate this way. He loves us unconditional even in our most unlovable state. He doesn’t pull away when you tell him your pissed at him. He listens to your complaining and pulls you back into his arms when your done.
Lyrics by tenth Avenue North explains it all…
I know i need you
I need to love you
I love to see you, but its been so long
i long to feel you
i feel this need for you’
and i need to hear you
is that so wrong?
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
now you pulled me near you
when we’re close i fear you
still im afraid to tell you
all that i’ve done
are you done forgiving?
or can you look pass my pretending?
Lord i’m so tired of defending
what i’ve become.
i hear you say “my love is over,
its underneath, its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me, when you can’t feel
the times that you’ve questioned ‘is this for real?’
the times you’ve broken, the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath
its inside, its in between,
these times you’re healing
and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you’ve fallen from grace
the times you’re hurting
the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and *are tempted* to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache
im there in the storm
my love i will keep you by my power alone
i dont care where you’ve fallen, where you have been
i’ll never forsake you
my love never ends, it never ends
