Love Me For 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" 

(Love Me- JJ Heller)

Isn't the world asking this exact question? Our world is one where everyone wants something in exchange. Something to buy their love and devotion, and yet they always end up even more emptier, in the end than they were in the beginning, to start with. "Who will love me for me?", they cry, in the end of their fruitless pursuits.

Our Father said to be His hands and His feet, here on earth. God has the love. He gave it to us. Now our desire should be to pass it on. To share this love. "How?", you could ask. Many do. Am I right?


Well, here is an example: A man is looking for God. He is desperate and lost. He has the idea to look on the phone book and see which church is closest to him. (After all, church is where God is found, right?) He picks up the phone and call the church to find out what time is someone available to talk to him and what time the service starts. No one is there and so he leaves a message. My suggestion, in this case, return the phone call! 


Don't let another day go by! For that man needs to hear the word of God. Sometimes, all one person really needs is to know that someone else cares to them. To hear them out, to be sad with them, to lift them up with a corny joke. To be their friend. By being that, we are being the "hands and the feet" of God here, on earth. We are turning "Printed Words" into "Living Words"! 

Maybe, you haven't spoken to a friend in a long time. Don't wait until he/she calls you in their time of need. Pick up the phone & call them. Maybe, just maybe, that is exactly the moment that they need you the most & you can be used for God's glory. And, through you, He can say: 

" 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"

  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

1 John 4:7

 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Proverbs 10:12
