"She is love"

I love being around people. I love to be busy and have my calendar booked. On rare occasions, I’ll have a free hour, an empty car and a long drive [sometimes intentional]. Call me crazy, but some of my most humbling/convicting times with the Lord, often happen behind the wheel.

Someone recently made me a mix CD with the song “She is Love” by a band called Parachute. During one of those intentional drives, I was listening to this particular song. It made me think about how I should always be an instrument of His love, and it also made me question whether or not people see me as a person who loves [unconditionally]. I realize the truth “God is Love” has been instilled in us from an early age, but we are given the vocation to be His instruments of that love.

Well I had my ways, they were all in vain,
But she waited patiently.
It was all the same, all my pride and shame,
And she put me on my feet.

I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around,
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days,
But she makes me want to believe.

If we want to discover if we’re related to God’s family… ask someone if they experience love from your life – love is the greatest clue.

Funny how God uses this song to communicate a vision. Mainly that-that should be my goal. To be known as a person who loves; despite who the person is, what they’ve done, what annoyances I have with them, etc. Basically the Lord resonated a question within me… “are you love?”. Do others experience love from my life, not snobbery, coldness or apathy?
