“Let my life be the proof of your love, let my love look like you and what your made of, how you live, how you die, loves a sacrifice, so let my life be proof the proof of your love.” - “The Proof of Your Love” by For King & Country
Last night my fiancé took the opportunity to show me a song that he discovered during the week. The words are amazing! As I listened to it this morning in my car, the words above, “let my life be the proof, the proof of your love, let my love look like you and what your made of.” These words resonated with me lately because I have lost sight of what is really important and what I believe my mission is in my life.
If you ask me what my mission is in life, my answer would be to love others. I long to love others with the love of Christ, to exude love to those around me. There has been so much going on in my life the past few months that I lost sight of my mission in life, of my goals, I even lost sight of who I am, and who God created me to be. I realized that I was just living life, day in and day out, without my mission in sight. I was living life without love.
I was not giving love, but only taking love, I was not loving myself and appreciating all that I have been given.
When I got in my car this morning, I realized I have walked around not even letting God’s love shine on me. I was so wrapped up in what other people saw and wanted me to do. I was wrapped up in all the things I had to do and all the things I had committed to. In focusing on those things that only brought me down I was pushing away people but ultimately I was pushing away love. During this time I felt as if there was something missing in my life, there was a hole in my heart, there was a piece of me that was not all here. When I listened to the song above this morning I realized that I have not been living my life in love, in giving love and receiving love. That piece of me was missing, and I realized that I am nothing without love. I can live, eat, breathe, and work, however I cannot truly LIVE without LOVE!
My prayer this morning was that I would be immersed in the Fathers love and that I would exude that love to all those around me, and I will say people have come up to me today and have told me that it looks like I am back and whole again.
When you truly understand what love is, it is not a fairy tale or a feeling, it is something so deep and so precious and so amazing. It is something to be cherished and held close, and I am forever grateful to my fiancé for helping me to see what love is and reminding me what my mission is.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” – I Corinthians 3:4-7 NIV
Have a super day!!!
