Music Monday - "Love With Your Life" by Hollyn
This is my favorite song right now. It's so good, one of the reasons being it's Hollyn! :) Her brand new single, "Love With Your Life," is about making a change in the world by loving with your life. The phrase, "Actions speak louder than words" are rooted in "Love With Your Life." The opening line says,
There's only so much you can say til' words turn into noise.
It's very true. Sometimes, we get so caught up in telling others to love, or just saying empty words, that we don't actually live it out in our lives, and it does become noise. I know, because I have definitely done it. The Bible backs up this truth in various places, one of them being in 1 John 3:18:
"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
James 1:22 also says,
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
When you love with your life, you also make a change in the world. Talk is cheap. People can say whatever, and it won't change a thing. When you do something, though, it changes the world. Friends, we were called to make a difference! I love what Hollyn says at the end:
I don't want another day to pass, not another moment. I wanna live intentionally in light of eternity. I wanna love like You [Jesus] loved. I wanna love with my life.
I hope this encourages you to "Love With Your Life!"
