A song that’s been on repeat for me lately comes from Chris Tomlin and is “I will follow.”
It’s an honest song representing the purest heart of being a follower of Jesus.
Yet it offers such conviction to me. I honestly type this with tears in my eyes.
One line says “Who you love… I’ll love.”
When I hear that, I process this:
Who you love… I’ll love – what about the homeless man on Bridge Street
Who you love… I’ll love – what about friends who betrayed you
Who you love… I’ll love – what about the poor who take advantage of the system & you see everyday
Who you love… I’ll love – what about the desparate & needy, isn’t it just too easy to throw money in an offering plate & let someone else love them
Who you love… I’ll love – what about the co-worker who doesn’t like you
Who you love… I’ll love – what about the friend you can’t motivate
Who you love… I’ll love – I want this to be true in my life.
