Someone worth dying for

Someone worth dying for
MikesChair



I was driving one day and this song came on. I decided to turn it up and really listen to the words. I had heard the song before, but never really paid attention to the words. As the chorus begun I thought "This is beautiful" and could relate it to my own life. Then the last line of the chorus was sung--and I was not expecting it. At that point my spirit broke within me. Someone worth dying for? Me?

Some time later, listening again to this song, I realized that not everyone knows of this love. I realized that I need to live my life in such a way that those placed in my path can see that they are more than flesh and bone. That they are something beautiful. That they are seen and they are known. That they are someone worth dying for. And I realized that I don't have enough love for that. But God does. So, Father, let your love flow through me.

"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."
(John 15:12 ESV)
