You Are The Only Exception~

So, just because I was procrastinating and stuff I finally got around to searching for the song that JB and EM sang at the Christmas assembly at MHS. They were so good. I think they were actually better than the original. xP I miss EM.... xPPP

So, ya. Here is the original "The Only Exception" by Paramore.




You know. This is a common thing in our society; 'love' that isn't real, 'love' that fades away, 'love' that is so based on appearances that it doesn't last, 'love' that isn't worth all the heartbreak and trouble, 'love' that is so superficial, 'love' that ends up making you lose trust in anyone, 'love'.

There is only one real love, one exception to what we see in the world. A love that is unchanging, unconditional, eternal, infinite, personal, unfailing, worth more than anything, the only important thing, the thing we all crave, the thing we all search for, the thing we all need, and the sad thing is that it is freely offered, but everyone looks over it or rejects it before actually seeing how great it is. True Love.

1 John 4:7-19 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought to love one another. No one has beheld God at any time; if we love on another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the saviour of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgement; because as He is, so also are we in the world. We love because He first loved us.

The 'love' we search for without God, isn't really love. For without God, who is love, we don't really have love. We only have a fake 'love' which many believe is love until it falls apart at which time they give up on love.

God's love is so great for us that He would even die on a cross for us. He would come down from heaven and walk with us. A love so unimaginably large that we can't even get our heads half way around it.

Love.

God.
