THE LOOK OF LOVE, pt 5

The homeless man.
The single mother.
The unwanted child in the orphanage.

The people who are in the most need are the ones we have been called to serve.  These are the ones Jesus told us about. These are the ones who need to see what love looks like.

For so long there has been an infestation of selfishness in our world that we have all but become completely oblivious to it.

It seems we have forgotten that love "is not self-seeking" (1 Cor. 13:5). It's kinda easy to forget when you have what you need. It's a little easier to forget when you have what you want. It's really easy to forget when you have what you need and what you want. It's hard to forget when you give of your means without hesitation.

Love is not selfish.

Are you looking more like love yet?

So Long Self

Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say

So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don't cry
So long, self

Stop right there because I know what you're thinking
But no we can't be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Can't you see

So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two, so you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong, but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, good-bye, don't cry
So long

Don't feel so bad (don't feel so bad)
There'll be better days (there'll be better days)
Don't go away mad (but by all means)
Just go away,go away

So long, self
Well, it's been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There's just no room for two, so you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don't take this wrong, but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, good-bye, don't cry
So long self
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
