Love Them Like Jesus

"Love Them Like Jesus"

The love of her life is drifting away
They're losing the fight for another day
The life that she's known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a child's broken heart

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You trying to make - sense of it all
She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She's looking to you

Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
Love her like Jesus

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You're trying to make sense of it all
They're desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They're looking to you

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you

So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus
Love them like Jesus

        This song just keeps playing over in my head today and since I haven't heard it in a few months I am thinking there is a reason for it. I think sometimes no matter how much we love someone we forget how to love them like Jesus. I think that sometimes we may not even know how to love them like Jesus would because our human nature gets in the way. It's not about what we think is best for them because God knows what is best. He knows what is going to happen and he just wants us to love them.

       

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus



        This verse especially stands out to me because I love the fact that I don't need to have the answers. I hate that horrible feeling when I love someone and they go through something so hard that no words seem right. It is so important to remember that I do not need to know what to say. It is enough to just know that he loves them and to stay by their side (even in silence). Just a few thoughts mostly because I needed to remind myself of this.
