Gift inside the Mystery

I woke up to a song this morning that’s been in my head. It’s a Nichole Nordeman song called Heaven & Earth. The chorus is:

"How could One, could one so holy
Be prepared to live inside
Of a heart like mine
I'll never know why
But as I, as I go deeper
I know I can be certain
That love is a gift
Wrapped up in the mystery of You"

I’ve been thinking about how true the last line is. “…love is a gift, wrapped up in the mystery of You”. It’s a poetically simple way of conveying a complex lesson I’ve been learning for so long.
The more I unravel the mystery, the more I get closer to and can enjoy the gift He’s given.

Love has always been complicated to define perhaps because our understanding of it is tied to what is revealed to us by Him. As complicated a mystery as that is, I am convinced of the truth that every time I get go deeper and peel back a layer, my awe at real love is revitalized. I'm excited because I have that "I knew it was good but not that good!" feeling all over again.

I’m amazed at what this chorus does in 8 lines but I’m more amazed at the fact that it’s true. I’m living it now. I'm still learning the lesson and I suspect I will be for as long as I'm alive.
