What love really means.

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He's the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, "Dear God won't you please...
Could you send someone here who will love me?"

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She's the woman whose husband has run away
She'll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would've stayed
And she says...

Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
'Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He's waiting to die as he sits all alone
He's a man in a cell who regrets what he's done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
"Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home"

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
"I know you've murdered and I know you've lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you'll listen, I'll tell you that I..."

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew

1 John 4:10
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."

1 John 3:16
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters."

I see and encounter people who ask the question "who will love me?", they feel alone abandoned and unloved by everyone in their lives.  God has a special place for these people, God loves these people. He gave his son for these people. Jesus went through pain and abandonment far greater just so we could be in a love so great nothing can take us from it.  Jesus has laid down his life for me, my life is now about laying down my life for my brothers and sisters.  This song by JJ Heller makes me cry every time.  This world is filled with darkness, and it breaks me to know there are people asking and saying somebody just love me! I want my life to be about loving these people, love every single person.  I want every single person I encounter to encounter JESUS.  If you are reading this and you feel alone and unloved, read those verses, get in contact with me. I would love to sit down and have coffee with you! Jesus will love you for you!
