Hearing this song, I thought about so many issues and problems that are happening in our world right now. Seeing how families are falling apart or never really coming together in the first place... Watching as young people are blatantly joining together just to rob and steal from others... Listening to a young girl tell how she got pregnant and now has to drop out of school...
Lil' Wayne hit the nail on the head: our world really doesn't know how to love.
What's missing is the link to Jesus Christ. He is the perfect example of how to show love. Once we receive His love and experience it's changing power, there should be no reason for us not to reflect that love to other people that cross our paths.
The world is hurting, confused, and angry. Yet are we showing the Love of God? Are we easing their pain, helping to give a guiding hand, or bringing peace?
We can't just stay in our little corner and shake our heads at how the world is descending into chaos, We shouldn't just attribute the escalation of heartbreak and sin to signs of the imminent return of Christ.
We have to go out there and do something about what we are seeing. There are lives at stake! We know the answer to the questions they are asking. Let's make sure we are providing the example to others of how to love.
Verse of the Day: Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love... Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. I John 4:7,8, 11
For those who don't know the song, here's the gospel cover version.
Lil' Wayne proves to be such a contradiction in this song. He represents the kind of "love" i see in my line of work everyday. Young girls having babies with multiple men, no skills, and on the "system". The young men, like Lil Wayne, see no problem with multiple "baby mommas" and children spread around.
ReplyDeleteI have issues attributing this song as to him as well. With all of his other degrading songs of women, it's hard to think of him penning these lyrics too. Thanks for sharing Talulazoeapple!
