The Way That He Loves
Back in the 1970s, there was a popular song titled “The Way That He Loves.” I wish I could find it on YouTube so I could share it with you but I’ve been thinking about Christ’s love lately. His love truly is refreshing. It brightens our way. It gives us hope when we have no hope. If we’re honest, we know we don’t deserve the love of our King but, if you’re like me, you’ve come to depend on it. Maybe you haven’t thought about it but I would not want to live without Christ’s love.
As unfathomable as His love is, He desires that we love others with that same love. He is setting the example. We know what it means to be loved by Him. Are we willing to give of ourselves for others the way Christ gives Himself for us? I love the old Don Francisco song which says, “Love is not a feeling; it’s an act of your will.” I’m sure it’s not always easy for Christ to love us. There must be times He rolls His eyes or gets frustrated but He also realizes we’re weak humans and, as long as our heart is toward Him, He’s willing to pick us up and help us get back on the straight and narrow way. That’s what we need to do for our Brothers and Sisters. Let’s strive to truly bear with each other and encourage each other to keep growing in our walk with Christ. As we do so, we’ll begin to love the way that He loves.
I always loved that song…wish someone would record it again.
I first heard this played as an Organ/Piano duet. It’s one of my favorite songs. I have even sung it at church. We need more Gospel songs like this.
I bet that Organ/Piano arrangement was beautiful. It is sad that the song seems to have fallen by the wayside in the last couple decades.
