Week 31/52 - Love Alone is Worth the Fight

I'm trying to find where my place is 
I'm looking for my own oasis 
so close I can taste this 
the fear that love alone erases 

so I'm back to the basics 
I figure it's time I face this 
time to take my own advice 

love alone is worth the fight 
love alone is worth the fight 

and I never thought it'd come to this 
but it seems like I'm finally feeling numb to this 
the funny thing about a name is 
you forget what the reason you were playing the game is 

love alone is worth the fight 

love alone is worth the fight

I came upon this song through an interesting set of circumstances and it fit perfectly not only with the picture, but with something I'm learning right now.  There's so much chaos that I could focus on and pros and cons and fear and trust and pain and joy; it can be such a game of politics, popularity, insecurity and pride.  But honestly, the bottom line is - love alone IS worth the fight.  And I have access to a kind of love that is bigger, stronger, and more constant than anything the rest of the world could offer me: Christ.  He didn't have to save me, but He did.  He doesn't have to love me, but He does.  Not only is that kind of love worth fighting the world's despair for, but it's also the kind of love that will keep me fighting for others too.  

God is love.  I never want to forget that.
