Broken roads and lost sheep

There is a song I love... Bless the Broken Road, by Rascal Flatts. Now, their version was about finding your love. Many country and Christian artists have covered the song, and it is still wonderful. I personally like the Rascal Flatts version, but only because I like them. (And if you haven't noticed by now, I love music... the words in the songs I talk about speak to me)

 

I can correlate this to what the Bible says about the

 Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to younarrow path. If we can't find our way to Jesus, then what is the point in trying to love another person? Being in love with Jesus is the ultimate relationship.
So many don't understand this. Heck, half the time I don't understand it. But I try. I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you 

We try to replace the love we are supposed to have for our Creator with a person. It doesn’t work so well and I am just as guilty of this as the next person. I haven’t dated anyone seriously in three years. Sometimes I wonder why, or what is so wrong with me. And then I remember that there is nothing wrong with me. My Jesus is there, no matter what. He is enough for me, even when I want more. I just have to reign myself in and not get so caught up in my emotions. 

 I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

I love this verse. So much time I wasted, doing stupid things and being around people I had no business being around. Jesus was ALWAYS there.. He never left my side, even when I was running away. Just like the prodigal son or a lost sheep, Jesus is there. He will never fail me, even when others will. Or when I let myself down. 
  Just like the lost sheep, Jesus is looking for you, waiting for you. If you have walked away from Him, He is waiting. You don't need to fix yourself or 'get right' before you come to Jesus. He takes you just as you are.
