Come What May...

“But even if he does not, [save, rescue] we want you to know…we will not serve your gods or worship you…” Daniel 3:18. “And if I perish, I perish.” Esther 4:16. “May it be to me, as you have said.” Luke 1:38.

There are fewer movie scenes that move my heart more than the one near the end of Moulin Rouge where Satine and Christian were belting out their love and loyalty to each other. She is standing on stage singing her heart out to the love of her life as he walks towards her singing down the aisle. The words captivated our hearts only to be heightened by their passion and conviction while singing the words…come what may.

We only have to look in the Bible to find this wholehearted devotion to God in the lives of many. Three men face the king basically singing…come what may. A little virgin teenager impregnated in a supernatural way knows the disgrace that will follow and yet she sings…come what may. A queen who has everything must make a decision to risk losing it all to save God’s people and yet her lifesong plays…come what may.

We have to live a life of come what may…a life that sings our wholehearted devotion to God. We must stand on the stage of life and belt out our unwavering love and commitment to the One who loves us unconditionally.

Be blessed this morning and know that God stands in that aisle and passionately sings to us and over us. May we sing the beautiful lyrics of Moulin Rouge back to the Lover of our souls with the same passion and conviction…no matter what…come what may.

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you I love you until the end of time
Come what may come what may
I will love you until my dying day.
