“Love Must Be Tough”
-Title of a book by James Dobson
“In our love, [God] be lifted high.”
-Hillsong, “Come to my Rescue”
“Love is a feel good word, but loving is not always easy…
[yet] love is the absolute priority.”
-Beth Moore
“Love is very exposed, and in some ways it is what we’re most afraid of…
By being called to love, we risk rejection… The deeper [we] love,
the deeper is the pain of rejection… If [we] have risked loving someone,
somewhere along the way [we] have been rejected…
That fear that we won’t be loved – are we afraid of anything more than that?”
-Beth Moore
“Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say,
‘I really don’t think you’re strong enough.'”
-Cher, “Believe”
“The city’s a flood and our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind – trampled in dust
I’ll show you a place high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there I go there with you
It’s all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind”
-U2, “Where the Streets Have No Name“
