Adelle

This blog will be simple and straight forward. I post this without fear of people thinking I am overly sentimental or getting in touch with my inner feelings.  Having three women in our household, I have been a regular user of Bath and Body Works products since they opened. Whatever the seasonal lotion and shampoo fragrance, it has been good enough for me. It will be a short leap for me to share an Adele song. People connect with her raw emotion and her ability to tell a story. In the traditional sense, with no theological baggage, she is a modern day gospel story teller. I hear the poignancy of the gospel every time I hear this song.

"Make You Feel My Love"

When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Hear the gospel story in every verse, relive the raging seas with the disciples, know their regret and sorrow, feel Jesus' own hunger and the vivid truth of him crawling (dragging the cross) down the avenue to make you feel God's love. God has gone to the ends of the earth to make us feel his love.
