Stop. Think. Love.

Good Morning! After a whole mess of words and paragraphs in my last post I thought it would be nice to put up a video for you guys. If you anything like me, I can talk up a storm, but I start reading a book and I want to curl up like a newborn baby and take a nap :)

Anyway, I heard this song a few months back and ran cross it today and it got me pumped! Here are the lyrics, too, if you'd like to read along with the music or just read them separately. Click on the video screen below to watch the video. ( It's not a music video, by the way, it's more just so you can hear it and read along) Enjoy!

Live it Out by Abandon

Is it just me or the walls closing in?
I can't be the only one feeling this
So let's tear down brick by brick
Cause it's not helping anyone
And let's get out from under this
Or we'll watch it fall on us all

Can you feel the urgency now
It's time for us to love out loud
Take what we know and live it out and live it out

So am I part of the cure or part of the disease
I think it's time we fall down on our knees
And ask God for clarity
To wash away our memories of the old way
Yeah, and pray that the walls break

Can you feel the urgency now
It's time for us to love out loud
Take what we know and live it out and live it out
This could be the start of a new day
We could be the change
If we take this love and live it out and live it out

We are lost and broken people
Turned our crosses into steeples
Lets take them down and put them on our backs now
Keep your love on track now
Cause this is an emergency
Yeah this is an emergency

Can you feel the urgency now
It's time for us to love out loud
Take what we know and live it out and live it out
This could be the start of a new day
We could be the change
If we take this love and live it out and live it out

Man! I love the lyrics and, of course, the melody is so catchy! It gets me pumped! :) Anyway, I feel thses lyrics are saying that we are all human; good or bad. We are all broken inside at some point in our lives. It's inevitable. We shouldn't use our hurt, pain, or insecurities against other people, because no matter how people are acting or how badly they're treating you, they're just as human as you are. 

So, the next time you run into a person or situation where you would usually just automatically judge a person and/or blow them off, try thinking what could be going on in there life...are they hurting? Are they going through a hard marriage? A death of a family member or frien? try loving them instead. Love them More than you love yourself. Pray for them.

Live Out Loud....Live Out Love
