Love, love, love...

Loving A Person
by Sara Groves and Gordon Kennedy

Loving a person just the way they are, it's no small thing
It takes some time to see things through
Sometimes things change, sometimes we're waiting
We need grace either way

Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through

There's a lot of pain in reaching out and trying
It's a vulnerable place to be
Love and pride can't occupy the same spaces baby
Only one makes you free

Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through

If we go looking for offense
We're going to find it
If we go looking for real love
We're going to find it...

I love this song. What a realistic view of love and how hard it can be...but how sweet it can be. Oh, I do need grace, grace to get through each day, grace to be selfless and follow my husband as he leads. I want to know the beauty of seeing things through. I want to know what comes from change and waiting and praying.

I praise God for an incredible husband who I can hold on to, who I can follow, who I can laugh with and cry with, who loves the Lord with all of his heart. I praise God that I am learning to love Patrick just the way he is. May I be a humble and loving wife. May our love bring glory to God. May God consume our hearts. May we fall more in love with each other and with the Lord every single day, through every single situation.

This is real love...
