On the subject of Love
I was listening to Love Isn’t Made from Jon Foreman’s Summer EP on my way to work today. The chorus reads:
So I arrive
At the conclusion
Love isn’t made
Love doesn’t sell or pay
But we buy and sell
Our love away
I was caught up in these words.
We end up “buying and selling” our love so often. Love isn’t something we can just make or earn. Whether you like it or not, you are loved and deeply so. Yet, we treat love as if it’s an object that we can trade and barter. Maybe our view of love is skewed. Whatever it is, love shouldn’t be something that’s fickle and passed around like a fruitcake. Love should static, strong and more consistent than our world portrays it to be.
So what is Love? Does it get passed around like a recycled gift? Or is it something that’s cherished and treasured?
