Profound

PLEASE READ TO BOTTOM
This song just came on while I was working on some homework and it just really hit me. Here's hoping for some profoundness around here. >_<#

I was told when I was young
That anyone could change the world
It wouldn't come from power or strength
But through the ones who choose to love

'Cause everyone will pass
And when we've breathed our last can we say
That we have lived for more
And did we live to die for
Lalala love
Lala love
Lalala love
Lala love

Can you feel His heart beating?
The sound of love that's marching on
And when our hearts begin to break
Along with His this world will change

'Cause everyone will pass
And when we've breathed our last can we say
We have lived for more
And did we live to die for
Lalala love
Lala love
Lalala love
Lala love

Love is marching
To His heartbeat
Love is marching
To His heartbeat
Love is Marching
To His Heartbeat!
Love is Marching
To His Heartbeat

'Cause everyone will pass
And when we've breathed our last can we say
We have lived for more
And did we live to die for
Lalala love
Lala love
Lalala love
Lala love

I think something important to keep in mind is that love is not what we typically think of when we hear the word these days.

Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 13:10

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
1 Corinthians 13:4

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
1 Corinthians 13:6

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Corinthians 13:8

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:16

I'm sorry this post is so long, but please bear with me. Something that I am finding more and more over the last few months as I try to work on myself is that love is a choice. It's not that warm and fuzzy emotion that overwhelms you from time to time, though that can come with love. That emotion is closer to attraction than love. Love is a service for others. I mean, really, Jesus died, and that is love. He died. What we call love is nothing like the true thing. I've trying hard to rework this in my mind, and I hope that you will try to take it to heart as well.
