Walking in Love is a song about the goodness and power of love. Where there is love, there is light. Without love, however, there is darkness and despair. Though frail and imperfect beings, hope burns brightest when we have faith enough to believe in the goodness of love received and the power of love given. We live our best lives when guided by the Spirit of Love. We are designed such that our greatest need and strongest desire is to love and be loved. We are relational beings, no matter what our age. For example, even when all their physical needs are met, babies who do not receive sufficient human touch and affection can literally stop growing and die. Love requires courage and sacrifice. Love requires patience, kindness and forgiveness. Love is not selfish or jealous. Love is not rude or disrespectful. Love honors and values everyone. Where the Spirit of Love endures, the only "rule" needed is: Love your neighbor as yourself. Real love loves even when it is hard to love. Love always loves the oppressed, the outcast, the different, the unimportant. As you sing the words of Walking in Love with energy, compassion and conviction, feel the hope, joy and peace that living in the Spirit of Love can bring: We're walking, though battered and tried. We're walking with hope by our side. We're walking with arms open wide. We're walking, walking, walking with Love as our guide! The choice to love is for each of us to make. I choose love. How about you? - Soli Deo Gloria! LSB "The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved." --Mother Teresa "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." --Martin Luther King, Jr. "Where there is love, there is life." --Mahatma Gandhi.
