Everyone has that one song that just relates to them. May it be something upbeat like house music (which I really enjoy dancing to) or something slow and mellow (like in times when I am feeling lonely… haha). There will always be a time for me when I have that song that I have to listen to music. Sometimes it speaks the words of my heart, when I cannot think of the words to speak.
I like reflecting on the songs that catch the attention of my heart. There are times when I pray about these songs to see if this is what God wants me to hear right now. The most recent song that has caught my attention was a song that I heard at my friend’s wedding reception.
“Love Never Fails” – Brandon Heath
I have never heard this song before and when I was listening to it then, I just remember thinking that it was an awesome song.
Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life
This song is based off of 1 Corinthians 13 and I am sure that all of you know this verse if you are reading this, but if you do not know this bible passage, it helps define what love is and what it is not.
Ever since I have felt and known the love of the Lord, I have always wanted to share that love with others. This song was a good reminder of how to be the loving person that I am called to be.
To be an advocate of love, is to be an advocate of Christ.
When I was at mass this past Sunday, there were so many things that were on my mind, but the biggest thing that came up in my prayer was the word adoration.
Adoration is love in its simplest form. Jesus, being held up high, for all His adorers to just come and simply love. In this day in age, the word love has been misused in every way possible, and I hope that by living out my call as a son of God the world may see love in a different way. The way it is meant to be known. And that way is through Christ.
I know that there are a lot of different genres of music out there, and that all types of music speak to all types of people, but I believe there is always a message that the Lord is trying to convey to us. We are just not listening or we are just afraid to be vulnerable and to respond to this love that is being offered to us.
Praise God that he speaks to me in the music I listen to, but he speaks louder to me in adoration. I hope that all who read this may go to adoration once this month. If it’s your first time going to adoration go with a friend and have them explain what they do. You will come to realize that everyone experiences the Lord in their own way, and eventually you will have your own way as well.
The Lord just wants to have a personal relationship with you. He’s just waiting for you to want a relationship with Him.
Lord, continue to speak to us even when we’re not listening and allow us to respond to your love every time you call.
Thank you for this 🙂 The song is currently on repeat!
