She loved him back. She wanted to ride to the end of the world by his side. She wanted to see him reach high and be all that he dreamed of being.
And ultimately they died together. Held in each others arms in a dark tomb, they are sealed under the sand of Egypt to die together.
Had the pleasure of seeing 'Aida' - a musical by Elton John and Tim Rice stolen ruthlessly from the annals of Verdi history. It was awesome! And I am so thrilled to know that my roommie Stacy loves music and drags me into it:) The power of the music and lyrics to draw emotion and make the mind dwell on deeper issues is amazing!
And it made me think of another love story. A deeper issue in life.
It is a thought, the deep issue, of the God who loves me so much that He thinks about me all the time. He wants to be with me constantly. He risked His job, His heavenly career, to be here on earth. He is captivated by me and He ultimately died for me and was buried beneath the sands of Israel. (Great thing though, He didn't stay there!)
Do I love Him that way? Do I think if Him? Do I want to spend time with Him? Is He the one that makes my world go round? Would I die for Him?
