I Was Made To Love And Be Loved By You!
Do you ever find yourself reaching for your God-given dreams and forgetting about the God who gave them to you?
"Made To Love" is about someone who does that. He forgets God and starts looking at what the world and the "haters" call "cold, hard reality". He asks what happened to the passion he once had, the flame that made him feel truly alive. Then he realizes that somewhere along the way he forgot what he was made for, to just love and be loved by God.
In the chorus he experiences a little worship session where he once again finds God and just enjoys loving and being loved by Him for a while. In this time of worship his passion and faith are renewed and in the second verse God puts him back in the "ring" fighting once again for those dreams! This time, even though the "haters" are trying to discourage him, he keeps the faith because he remembers to reach up to God for that Holy Spirit covering like a cool breeze and he is drawn back again into worship.
Take a few minutes right now just to love and be loved by God.
And whenever you find yourself getting discouraged, consider God…
…Who created everything by speaking it into existence (Gen 1),
…Who measures the universe by the span of His hand (Isa 40:12),
…Who knit you together in your mother’s womb (Ps 139:13),
…Who bends over you to hear your prayers (Ps 40:1),
…Who rolled up His sleeves to work out your salvation (De 26:8),
…Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (I Pet 2:9),
…Who knows how many hairs you have on your head (Mt 10:30),
…Who left behind the glories of Heaven and suffered the pains of death so that you could have abundant life (Jn 10:10),
…Who took your sins upon Himself and healed you with His wounds (Isa 53:5),
…Who rejoices over you with singing (Zeph 3:17),
…Who loves you like He loves His Only Begotten Son (Jn 17:23),
…Who adopted you as His own (Gal 4:4-7),
…Who has a plan for your prosperity (Jer 29:11),
…Who calls you His friend (Jn 15:15),
…Who is even now preparing a rich feast to openly declare His Love for you (SoS 2:4).This very same God promises you …
…That if you delight in and meditate on His Word, you will have success in everything you do, (Ps 1)
…That if you keep your mind on Him and trust in Him, He will keep you in perfect peace, (Isa 26:3)
Father God, help me to remember your love for me today. Whenever I’m feeling discouraged remind me that I was made to love you. Draw me back to worship you, to love and be loved by you, to know and be known by you. That I would find strength to fight for the dreams you’ve given me. And that you would be glorified in my life today and every day. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
Lyrics:
The dream is fading now I’m staring at the door
I know it’s over ’cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain’t feeling what I see
It’s no mystery
What ever happened to a passion I could live for?
What became of the flame that made me feel more?
And when did I forget that…
Chorus:
I was made to love You
I was made to find You
I was made just for You
Made to adore You
I was made to love
and be loved by You
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And You said You’d keep me
never would You leave me
I was made to love
And be loved by You
The dream’s alive with my eyes open wide
Back in the ring You got me swingin’ for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin’ vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I’m reachin’ out, reachin’ up, reachin’ over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And Daddy I’m on my way
’cause I was made to love!
Chorus (x2)
Anything I would give up for You
Everything I give it all away
(repeat)
‘Cause I was made to love you (I was made to love you)
Yeah I was made to love you (I was made to find you)
‘Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you)
I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you)
‘Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you)
I was made to love you (I was made to adore you)
Yeah I am loved by you
Yeah I am loved by you
Yeah I am loved by you
