Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

I was singing to Frankie Valli’s song "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" in my car over and over again. I had just downloaded it to my ipod that week, bringing back memories of my Dad playing these songs when I was little girl. That same week I got to go to Kairos, where I had such an experience with the Lord like I never had before. We were having a time of prayer and ministry. As the worship team sang I kept asking the Lord about me going up for prayer but felt peace in my heart, so I just sang and prayed for others as they went up.

Suddenly I felt the Lord say to me “how about a hug?” I didn’t know where this came from but I had tears running down my face at the thought of it. Then again I felt this voice, “how about a hug?” I responded, “Lord is this You?” So I went up to one of the ministers, a precious woman of God. I said to her, “I need a hug” and when she hugged me I shook softly from the inside out. Everything in me trembled. It was such a healing hug and felt such love being poured into me at that moment. I cried from a deep place within me. Never felt anything like that before. When I walked back to my seat, a lady asked me if I wanted to wear her coat, but I told her that I was not cold. Then I realized that I was still shaking and she had noticed. His love was so tangible and so thick.

Then the song began to play loudly in my head as if He was reminding me,

“You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off You, You’d be like heaven to touch, I want to hold You so much, at long last love has arrived and I thank God I’m alive, You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off you. Pardon the way that I stare, there’s nothing else to compare, the sight of You leaves me weak, there are no words left to speak, but if You feel like I feel, please let me know that it’s real, You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you”

He’s so good! His love melts my heart. I realized that He heard me singing and He wanted to hold me. He spoke to a deep desire in my heart that needed to believe that He’s real and tangible. I’ll never forget it.

There are times in our lives when we really need to know that we are loved. God was so faithful to meet me there. We all need a hug from our heavenly Father and God has already placed very special people in our lives that we can trust. Ask the Lord to show you and speak to the deepest need you have and watch Him meet you there. Your melting heart will dance.

Nahum 1:5 The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it

Prayer
Lord I pray that we are able to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is Your love. This love that surpasses knowledge – that we may be filled, to the measure of all Your fullness today, Eph. 3:18-19 Give us Your eyes and help us to recognize who needs a hug from You as well.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
