Do you love me enough to let me go? (Part 2)

I am continuing a "shiny" train of thought that started with the Switchfoot song "Enough To Let Me Go".  I pondered love, letting go and parenting in my previous post.  But how do my previous thoughts translate to my view of God and the faith that I have?  

"Do you love me enough to let me go?

Do you love me enough to let me go?

To let me follow through, let me fall for you, my love

Do you love me enough to let me go?"

Have you ever wondered how you would feel if you were forced to love someone?  Is it really love? This is the thought that usually pops into my head when people ask me "Why doesn't God just make us love Him?"

Do you love me enough to let me go? (Part 1)

I am always amazed at how music can trigger such amazingly "shiny" thoughts. Recently as I was driving home from dropping some kids off at Forest Home, the song "Enough To Let Me Go" by Switchfoot came on the radio. For me it is one of those thought provoking songs and it is the first verse and chorus that always hits me the hardest. In the song,  Jon Foreman writes & sings:

"Oh, I'm a wandering soul

I'm still walking the line that leads me home

Alone

All I know

I still got mountains to climb

On my own

On my own

Do you love me enough to let me go?

Do you love me enough to let me go?

To let me follow through, let me fall for you, my love

Do you love me enough to let me go?"
