Love Changes Everything

By

Love changes everything
Ever have a song stick to your soul?
Your mind keeps repeating the words.  The tune plants it roots in the ears of your heart.
God nudges me to listen and listen deeply. He is reminding me of His truth.
Love Changes Everything haunts me this week. Haunts in a good way. Deep down I want to believe that love changes everything. Love creates meaning. Love heals hurts. Love mends relationships. You are never the same after His love. Love transforms.
If I don’t know the answer to a situation – I choose love.
If I have two options, I ask which one shows more love?
If I want to be more like Jesus, I choose love.
I love the music and lyrics to the song by Andrew Lloyd Webber, from the musical “Aspects of Love.”

I pray,  “Yes love, love changes everything. Lord, now I tremble at your name. Nothing in the world will ever be the same. Love will never, never let us be the same.”

 
Take a moment to listen, enjoy and pray:

Love, love changes everything

 

Hands and faces, earth and sky

 

Love, love changes everything

 

How you live and how you die

 

Love, love can make the summer fly

 

Or a night seem like a lifetime

 

Yes love, love changes everything

 

Now I tremble at your name

 

Nothing in the world will ever be the same

 

Love, love changes everything

 

Days are longer, words mean more

 

Love, love changes everything

 

Pain is deeper than before

 

Love will turn your world around

 

And that world will last forever

 

Yes love, love changes everything

 

Brings you glory, brings you shame

 

Nothing in the world will ever be the same

 

Off into the world we go

 

Planning futures, shaping years

 

Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears

 

Love makes fools of everyone

 

All the rules we made are broken

 

Yes love, love changes everyone

 

Live or perish in its flame

 

Love will never never let you be the same

 

Love will never never let you be the same

 

How has love changed you?

    “Now I tremble at your name; nothing in the world will ever be the same.” Oh, yes! The more we know of God’s names, the more we appreciate him. The more we appreciate him, the more impacted we are by his presence in our lives. Example: Meditating on Jehovah-Jireh, God our Provider, transforms worry into faith. Our outlook changes. We don’t see the world in the same way anymore! Thank you, Jean, for sharing this song–one that’s new to me.

    Oh, lovely, Jean. Thank you for reminding me about this song. It really does, doesn’t it? Change everything? Sometimes I pray for a supernatural ability to love. That’s the super power I want 🙂

    I find I have to be aware and still to feel those nudges though. They happen more often than I realize. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

    “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” John 4:12
    A new favorite verse driving forward my new blogging experience where I get to connect with sisters like you! I LOVE the phrasing of songs that ‘stick to your soul’ and would love to share this thought with the worship team I lead!!

    Thanks for your prayers. I have one agent who may be interested and is willing to see my proposal and meet with several editors and got some writing ideas. Now the work begins. I plan to take lots of stuff to research and work on on the long car rides towards Utah.

    You know Glenda, I find thinking about which options shows more love often guides me to the better decision or reminds me how to treat a situation – with the most love I can and ask for God’s love to shine through.
