He Wants It All

You ever hear that song by Forever Jones…He Wants it All? I was listening to 104.7 on the way home from church and that song was playing right before I pulled up to my house. Such an easy concept that took me forever to understand. He wants it all. Not part of you…ALL of you. It’s funny how God wants the same thing we want from our significant others…all…not some.

Now I definitely know there is no comparison between God and our significant others, but the underlying concept is the same. Think about it…there is nothing we go through that God has not gone through. Nothing we feel that God has not felt. God knows what we are going through. I can only speak for myself, even though I know a lot of others question the same thing, regarding our significant others…why can’t he be vulnerable? How can he half-ass a relationship? Why can’t he COMMIT? Commitment. Um. The hairs stand on my arms when I hear that word. Heart starts beating fast…that is a SCARY word…for most men in my experience. You see…I don’t have a problem with committing. I think it is much easier to commit to one person than to play the field. Now that’s just ME. But back to tying this into the song…He Wants it All. I give my all when it comes to a relationship. My motto is…if you’re going to get into a relationship, give a 100% or don’t get into it at all. I don’t know how to half-ass a relationship. I really don’t. Just ask My Love…I either commit…or get out. I have no problem getting out if I don’t feel like the other person is giving their all…or if I do not feel you are worthy of my all. Doesn’t mean I stop loving them, I just know it’s a situation where the relationship won’t work if both parties are not giving their all. Does that mean the relationship is always going to be fun and exciting, no. But if both people are truly committed, giving it their all every day, no matter what…the relationship will flourish and you will experience true feelings and realness. Even if the relationship does not work, there is a sense of satisfaction knowing you went in and gave it your all. You can walk away with a sense of peace…and probably still remain friends with the other person.

Now back to God…you see…God wants us to give Him our all too. He will always love us…yes. But if you don’t give God your all…you will never experience the full amount of blessings and grace He has for us. When you give God your all…will life be happy and problem-free? Of course not. But there is a sense of peace and understanding within yourself to know that everything is ok…and your relationship with God will flourish.

There’s something special about being in a committed relationship…with ONE person….to be continued…next blog post J
