God's Thrill

Thanks to facebook, I don't blog much. I usually try not to post the same things at both venues, I think I'll try to post here whatever I post on facebook with a few additional things. Here's one from facebook (with a few differences):

I was at a concert recently and the orchestra played a song that I loved. They played an arrangment of Star of County Down. I love the rhythm and melody of Celtic string pieces and especially this particular arrangment. After hearing it, I had a thought. Think of a song that generates an emotional response in you - something that, when you close your eyes, you feel like you could be flying, driving really fast, watching a sunset over the mountains, wrestling a bear, riding a horse through the prairie, etc. One example that comes to my mind is the Pirates of the Caribbean film score. The emotion that song (whatever it is) generates doesn't come close to the emotional response God feels when He hears your voice or hears the mention of your name. He loves you that much.
