Love is not a fight...

Love is Not A Fight- By Warren Barfield


Love is not a place
to come and go as we please
its a house we enter in, the commit to never leave
so lock the door behind you, and throw away the key
work it out together, let it bring us to our knees.
love is a shelter, in a raging storm
love, is peace in the middle of a war
and if we try to leave may God send angels to guard the door
no love is not a fight, but its something worth fighting for...


To some love is a word, that they can fall into
but when they're falling out, keeping that word is hard to do
love is a shelter, in a raging storm
love, is a peace in the middle of the war
and if we try to leave, may God send angels to gaurd the door
no love is not a fight, but its something worth fighting for


Love will come and save us, if we'll only call
He'll ask nothing from us, but demand we give our all...

love is a shelter, in a raging storm
love, is peace in the middle of a war
and if we try to leave may God send angels to guard the door
no love is not a fight, but its something worth fighting for...
cause I will fight for you, but will you fight for me...its worth fighting for baby...



I love this song by Warren Barfield, because the lyrics depict not only the ideal condition of marital love, but also the model of love God has for each of us.  Practicing love the right way, especially in marriage but even in other relationships will always require effort, but it's so worth it!  Too many people give up when they're in a hard place, simply because they either don't know how to love, or they don't want to try.  


I challenge you to look to God's example of love for us as your model for how to love your significant other.  He doesn't quit, He doesn't hold grudges, He believes the best, He's always there.  Regardless of how we act, He's committed and He's always ready to move forward together.  For those of us fortunate enough to be married and have people in our lives worth fighting for, let's keep fighting for love.  


Dedicated to my boo, who I love, and who fights for our love.
