I wanna be defined by the things that I love

Not the things I hate

Not the things that I’m afraid of, I’m afraid of

Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night

I, I just think that

You are what you love

T Swizzle sings this song about seeing daylight after having found love. How that love has her only looking towards the daylight.

The Bible talks frequently of light and love.

How Christ followers are supposed to be known by their love.

How Christ followers are supposed to be a light to others.

Maybe the point is that light and love are intertwined. Two parts of a whole or two sides to a coin. Love for others is seen as light. Light from others is felt as love.

Man, I want that so badly for all of us. The feeling of love and light. Of being loved and showing our light.

There is darkness to be sure. It’s easy to get confused and distracted.

You were made to be loved and to be loving.

You only have control over how loving and full of love you choose to be. It’s hard, but you’re worth it.

Make it a great day.

Jake
