Ever feel like it’s been lost? That spark of excitement, zest for life, spring in ones step…Life is full of unexpected surprises & unplanned adventures… good, bad & ugly. All the little things, big events, small gifts & huge losses are in between the glory days & lonely nights. The joy of a new born babe or the farewell salute to the hero’s destined fate. We bear our souls to kindred spirits, who share the warmth & care of a dear sweet friendship. Our hearts are worn on open sleeves that show the scars of hidden pain or display a cry for love. A distant look of eyes that question, tears of wonder & stares that ponder those empty thoughts or seeds of doubt. Perhaps a deeper yearning, a wandered longing… a somber quest for truth. How often life seems quite contrary & other times it feels just like the song, “You’ve lost that lovin feelin”. There’s no tenderness, or welcomeness to embrace a kiss or touch a bit of something new. Perhaps an eagerness or wanton desire has disappeared from scattered days, constant changes or balancing acts of limbo dances. The songwriter sings:
“It makes me just feel like cryin’, Cause baby, something beautiful’s dyin”.
Oh so deep the words that speak to what awakens how I truly feel! I want to dream, need to play, pray to be at peace. Though I am weary in this somber place, I know this too shall pass. The times are quickly changing, seasons are passing before us as the tide is turning day by day, moment by moment. But God’s love never changes, it’s never gone, won’t leave us, can’t get lost, or ever slips away. I’ll bend the knee to only Him & humbly ask, please Lord, bring back that lovin feelin, bring it on back to me. This is what I long for, cause that lovin feelin… has never been lost to me.
“For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!”Psalms 117:2
”You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” by Phil Spector, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil
