Song of the Week: What Love Really Means by JJ Heller
I think that almost everyone comes to a point in their life where they question what love really means. We all search for it in various places. But all too often, we come up empty-handed.
Why is that?
Do we ever contemplate that we might be looking in the wrong place?
Picture this: What if everything you've ever done, said, and thought was projected onto a big screen for the entire world to see? What would people think of you? Would they love "you for you"? Or would they judge you for the person you really are?
Unfortunately, most of us wouldn't be able to look past the flaws and secret things that we all like to keep hidden from each other.
But there is one who sees us - exactly as we are - everything exposed... and He says:
Why is that?

Why is it that so many times we feel like we have to perform or behave in certain ways to get the love that we crave from people? Often this can transfer over into our relationship with God as well. Instead of being secure in His love for us, we feel like we have to do something to somehow earn the love that is already available to us.
God doesn't love us for what we've done, or who we've become - he simply looks at all of it and again says:
