I went to the Utah Opera Festival last night and watched Brigadoon. It amazes me to think of the expanse of talents that God gifts to us. From what I enjoyed last night, the orchestra playing the accompanyment to the voices of the cast, I was completely entertained. One of the songs was a song sung by “Charlie” to his fiancee “Jaennie,” called “Come to Me, Bend to Me…” and the chorus is this:
Come to Me
Bend to Me
Kiss Me Good Day….
Do you ever hear things around you, and feel like God is using it to speak directly to you? It’s as if He jumps into a melody or a sentence that someone speaks and internally it resonates as God’s whisper to your heart? I felt like He was singing me a love song, even though I know I was at the opera and that particular song is a part of the performance… but it felt like as I listened to it, God took it and twisted my heart with it so that I would know it was from Him.

Oh, the memories! I played Jean in that musical in high school, so I sang that song. I still know the song by heart! That musical was so lovely, so wonderful!
And I agree that God uses anything, anywhere, to get our attention…
Glad you had a great time!
