When God Made You
by Dreamer on Jul.06, 2009, under Musings
Note: This is Part 2 of the Finding God’s Will Series.
I went to a friend’s wedding last week. There I realized something more about finding God’s will in my life. It came through a song that two of the wedding singers sung at the wedding reception. Let me just take you to a learning experience with that song.
First, take a look at the lyrics:
It’s always been a mystery to meHow two hearts can come together,And love can last forever,But now that I have found you I believeThat a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.So gone are all my questions about why,And I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.When God made You He must have been thinking about me.
Chorus:
I wonder what God was thinking when He created youI wonder if He knew everything I would needBecause He made all my dreams come true.When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.
I promise that wherever you may go,Wherever life may lead you,With all my heart I’ll be there too.And from this moment on I want you to knowI’ll let nothing come between usAnd I will love the ones you loveSo gone are all my questions about whyAnd I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.
Bridge:
He made the sun, he made the moonTo harmonize in perfect tuneOne can’t move without the otherThey just have to be togetherAnd that is why I know it’s trueYou’re for me and I’m for youCause my world just can’t be rightWithout you in my life
I wonder what God was thinking when He created youI wonder if He knew everything I would needBecause He made all my dreams come trueHe must have heard every prayer I’ve been prayingHe must have known everything I would needWhen God made you, when dreams come true
The lyrics of the song by Natalie Grant is inspiring. It even carries what I believe to be Biblical reflections about the issue of love, courtship and dating.
In our age and time when the youth live with loose morals specially on the issue of love and dating, a song such as this is a welcome refreshment. It provides fresh air to an otherwise stale atmosphere.
Everywhere we turn today we see repercussions of what sociologists call “new morality”- a pigment of postmodernism in our moral values. Our teen music icons, for instance, who openly flaunt sexuality in their songs and music videos are living proofs of this sad observation.
Grant’s song which stipulates about the “perfect one” whom God has created for us is of sublime importance if we are to counter the loose morals of our generation when it comes to love and dating.
But is it true that there is such a “perfect one” for each of us? Did God really have someone on His mind to whom we can spend our life on earth together?
The answer, I believe, to both questions is a resounding yes. God really has someone on His mind for us- someone whom we can be with all our life.
When God looked at Adam on the Garden of Eden some moments after he was created, He said that it is not good for Adam to be alone so He created Eve to be his companion. I believe that somewhere out there was an Eve which God has created for me.
By that Scripture in Genesis alone, I believe that I can now be freely disenchanted with the way our present culture decides to find that “perfect one.” Adam did not look for a companion, God gave her to him. It was God’s idea and not Adam.
Our postmodern take at courtship and dating is too selfishly motivated. Collecting x’s until one finds the right one isn’t godly at all.

The last line of the song says, “When God made you he must have been thinking about me.” It was left out.
