Love Dare......

Today is a very special day and i thought I should  write about a subject that's been on my heart the whole day, 'LOVE'. I watched the movie Fireproof again today and its just amazing what a fresh take I had on it. If you haven't watched it i recommend it as a must watch. The movie deals on unconditional love and has a really new perspective to it. There is one scene that remains etched in my mind when the father is talking to his son. He tells him that the reason he can't love her unconditionally is because he couldn't give her what he didn't have, which was unconditional love from Jesus. Maybe you are a christian reading this and thinking, I've already done it. But have you experienced Jesus unconditional love or you just know him as your saviour. Maybe you've been asking yourself why you've been so judgmental and short tempered with the people you love the most, I know i have. Maybe its time we've looked at scripture's like John 3:16 and 1 John 4:19 with a different perspective and truly receive Christ's love. For when we have experienced the purest of LOVE we can be able to love unconditionally. Just thought I would leave you with lyrics from a song by Warren Barfield, it sums up what I've been writing about

Love is Not a Fight

Love is not a place
to come and go as we please
It's a house we enter in
then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
Work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter
in a raging storm
Love is peace
in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave;
May God send angels to guard the door
No, Love is not a fight
but its something worth fighting for

To some love is a word
that they can fall into.
But when they're falling out
keeping that word is hard to do

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us
but demand we give our all

 

Love, peace and happiness
