Lenten Devotional AT40 Day 6: I'm Not The Only One

Smith sings of an unfaithful partner.  This perusing the American Top Forty I have found that jealousy and unfaithfulness to be common themes in pop music.  Perhaps infidelity is a deeply ingrained condition of the collective human soul.

The prophet Hosea used his personal pain he felt regarding the infidelity of the mother of his children.  Hosea used this personal experience to project onto God and imagine how God feels when inflicted by our infidelity.

Sam Smith's sings with a passionate jealousy that's difficult to fabricate.  You can hear and feel his pain when he sings the lyric.

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

How has our infidelity to God made us unavailable?  Unavailable to God and the people around us?  Our hearts are broke in our infidelity and the good news is that God has not abandoned us.  God has given us the very heart of Christ.  Will we accept that new heart that God has created for us in Christ?Will we love with the heart of Christ?

What do you think?
