Show Me Love
A good friend of mine told me he really likes the Phone Calls From Home song “Show Me Love”. I listened to it today and was reminded of the message it told. I want to share that message with you and the reason behind the song…
I hate mornings. They are the worst part of the day for me. Sometimes I wake up feeling that I’m just stuck in rut. I have thoughts and dreams of a glorious life filled with all of the beauties and experiences that this earth has to offer. I can feel God’s presence in the moments of true bliss when I am just imagining an outgoing life of travel, of bringing a positive message to people that need to hear it, of lifelong memories with friends, of achievements beyond what I thought possible, of challenges that I know I can overcome, and of love and happiness. And then I realize that I am wake up in the same bed every day and going through the same dull motions. I want my life to be colorful, but it just feels grey. I wake up and my life is grey.
I tell myself that big things can happen slowly, I just need to be patient, hard working, and faithful. But nonetheless, it is hard to wake up to the same day over and over and over again. So the song, Show Me Love, is a plea: Show me how to live a fulfilling life even when most of my days feel meaningless. In my heart, I know a purposeful life doesn’t have to be about the glits and the glory. It is about what I’m feeling inside. It is about the little things. It’s not external, it’s internal. So the point isn’t to ask God (or the universe or whoever you ask) to give you beautiful and glorious moments throughout the day. No, it’s about changing your perspective to see that your days really are full of magnificent moments, its just up to you to appreciate them. We just need to open up our eyes and grasp what it means to be alive. I mean think about it, Earth is the perfect distance from the Sun so that we can all live peacefully on it. We have abundant amounts of air, water, and food. We have free will and can do and think as we please. We have the capacity and power to live and love every day, it’s just up to us to consciously experience it.
So, if you don’t mind, I’m giving you a daily challenge (while quoting my own lyrics):
Wake up love
With open eyes, show me more than just nothing
Look
Look out love, look outside the day’s calling
