In love with someone else

Tell me why this girl is wrecking it? Ok that's not what I'm writing about. Jazmine sings about being in love with another man. Her song is full of soul and emotion in the mood of an apology. Jazmine has realized that though the one man who loves her unconditionally and the way she NEEDS to be loved has showered her with the best and given her more than she could be thankful for, for some reason she is attracted to and "in love" with someone who: *treats her "so-so" *doesn't look that great *doesn't have the best occupation *she always fights with She even encourages him to find someone who can reciprocate what he gives and who he is. However, though she is apologetic, she is adamant about what (or who rather) she wants. She makes it clear that her "other man" is her CHOICE. As believers its easy to "be in love with someone else" other than the ONE who relentlessly loves and chases us. The ONE who demonstrated the greatest form of love (laying down His life). We are created with a desire to choose and given the will to do so. Ironically we ache for His love and are so unable to comprehend the brevity of its fulfillment that we chase after "other things" in vain. Our Lover will NOT accept our apologies, nor will He go looking for someone who is worthy of His love. He will, however pursue us and allow His Spirit to do the drawing. And as relentless as He can be...the choice will be OURS!
