Because You Love Me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

I’m everything I am
Because you loved me

Today’s song speaks to the power of love. Depending on our situation we may consider this song was meant for a partner, friend, child, parent or God. It speaks to what love can do and achieve.

We’ve been asked before to send love. Earlier this week it was to South Carolina. Sometimes it is a general request. We are reminded to be love and act out of love.

Make no mistake, whenever we speak of love or wish someone love, there is an impact. Today’s message acknowledges that. But it wants to remind us of the “more”….the stronger love, the stronger blessings, the stronger wishes, the stronger words. All of these are made stronger by intention. 

When we pause and hold these things, we impregnate them with our intentionallove, they become stronger and more powerful. The energy is supercharged when we infuse it with intentional love.

We know that love is the most powerful force on earth. We are asked to consider intentionally super charging it.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and taking in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Use intentional love.

-A glorious hot sun with a good breeze to keep us cool.

-A good book.

-My Uncle Jim warmed my heart.

-Catching up with my sister.
