My blog for this week is quite short on accountability. If you haven’t told someone you love them in a long time, do so. Time is very precious on earth, especially in these times. Get out of pride. Work on bitterness and tell those that are important to you that you love them.
I don’t listen to a lot of mainstream music any longer, but I am reminded of Mumford and Sons Lover of the Light song, specifically, the following lyrics:
In the middle of the night, I may watch you go.
There’ll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown. There’ll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown. But I'd be yours if you'd be mine
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
Watch me stumble over and over
I have done wrong, you build your tower
But call me home and I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high, so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward
I know I tried, I was not stable
Flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up, breathe in and breathe out
So love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the lightly
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
But I'd be yours if you'd be mine
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
About a month ago, LaRette had made an interesting point about something she had read or a podcast she had heard where the gospel tale was given where Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding, and the best wine was brought out at the very end. The person’s point was at the beginning of the relationship or marriage, we bring our very best, but at the end, things dry up. It should be the opposite. We need to be pouring out our best love everyday, and to me, our love should grow stronger toward those we love each day, not the opposite. This takes great courage and work with the Holy Spirit to prune our divided hearts. Ask the Holy Spirit to let your love shine daily toward those you love. Ask for the walls to be torn down so you can love those in your love with the Light of Jesus.
