Most secular music as we all know is about love. I personally am not in a place in my life where I want to listen to most secular music. Why because the love it talks about is a distorted, unbiblical view of love. Believe me I've had plenty of that "love" and I don't need to revisit the memories.
I used to listen to songs like "Bad Liar" by Imagine Dragons which obviously talks about the guy lying to the girl. When you have people tell you they love you and it's unlasting or for their benefit then they leave you in the dust it makes you feel like they should've never said it at all. "I love you" is not a phrase that should be tossed around lightly. I covet those that married their first love, there was a God given reason why I didn't marry mine and for that I'm grateful, but I covet them only because their first "I love you" was to their only love (if they're still together). Then there's the lack of saying "I love you". They kiss you or they hold your hand without asking and in some cases they pressure you to have sex but the words "I love you" never come out. Both sides are lying in my perspective. People really need to be careful how they use the phrase and understand the true biblical meaning behind loving someone.
Tonight I had my playlist on random which I practically never do. Some song came on that was talking about cheating. (Don't know which one it was, if it comes on again I'm deleting it.) Something that's happened to me on more than one ocassion. It was painful and I ended up not being the chosen one. So when the song called "Forever Always" came on I started getting bitter because that's not how it ended up.
It all started with the song about cheating and I think another song not sure but I was feeling hopeful today about my future and Satan was trying to use this secular music to make me bitter and afraid of the future. NO NO NO Satan! God works EVERYTHING together for the good of those who love him. God did NOT give me a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. And God WON'T allow me to be tempted beyond what I'm able. So, I've forgiven those people, I have a future and a hope, I am a daughter of the king, I am a fellow heir with Christ, I am chosen by God, I am His. And the fear you're trying to put in my heart about the marriage God has planned for me one day can go. Because I trust God not Satan and not secular music. I hope in God and his plans for me are perfect.
For whatever reason those guys didn't work out He has began showing me but I am going to stay in this hopeful place because I was joyful. So now I plan on listening to some Christian music about the perfect love of Christ and God.
But really ask yourself why we would even listen to music like that? It's degrading, worldly, and feeds the kids of this world, and some adults, that it's not sin but normal. It's not! Don't believe the lie that that's what true love is. I think it was easier to listen to before all of that actually happened and before I felt this joy for the first time in years. Satan will rob us from our joy if we let him so don't. Christ came to give us abundant life! Love is a beautiful thing, the way the bible describes it.
