The Karate Kid wasn’t high art. But it is so much fun to watch. I haven’t seen it in a long time but the song Glory of Love from the soundtrack, just came into my mind when I was thinking of the shift in my heart to give Jesus the primary spot in it. I displaced Him for a few months even though I would not admit it. I wrote earlier, that He made Himself known after a period of 4 weeks. At the place where I was at a standstill. He came like a Knight. To save the day. And this song reminded me of Him. He wouldn’t sing it in its entirety because parts are not applicable to Him. But if I broke it up between Me and Him, it actually makes sense. Like this:
HIM:
Tonight it’s very clear
As we’re both standing here
There’s so many things I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
ME:
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you hurt
I don’t wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
HIM:
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of
We’ll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
ME:
You’ll keep me standing tall
You’ll help me through it all
I’m always strong when you’re beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
HIM:
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero you’ve been dreaming of
We’ll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of
We’re gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
We’ll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love”
He has fought for Me. Over and over and He refuses to let go. He isn’t afraid and He claims me as His own without shame. I see Him as a Knight. He was a man once and in that state He fought Hell and Death for Me. He won and we can be together now. He did it all for the Glory of Love.
