We Live- Superchick

If you haven't hear the song "We Live" by Superchick, I strongly suggest you listen to it. The chorus goes:

We live, we love, we forgive, and never give up cus the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to love.

There is a lot of truth in this song, so I'll break it down as best as I can.

We live- As a Christian we shouldn't just exsist. Non-believers exsist. It's nothing special, we need to LIVE for God. He gave us life, let's live it for Him! Why waste such an amazing gift? Just going day by day doing the same thing is a waste of life, it's so lukewarm. Are you wasting life? Why? Go LIVE!

We love- This is my favorite. We need to love, not shallow love that this world portrays, deep and passionate love. Who do we love? Everyone. Love God, love people, love your enemies and your neighbors. The bible says that the two greatest commandments are (all summed up) Love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself. Love everyone.

We forgive- Just as Christ forgave us we are to forgive others. It doesn't matter what anyone has done to you, you are to forgive them. Part of forgiving is also forgetting. When we forgive people, that's it. It's over and done with. Forgive all the people you haven't forgiven yet.

Never give up- What would have happened if God gave up on us? I'll tell you, we'd all be burning in Hell. That's the sad, sorry truth of it. We can't ever give up, we need to go tell people about Christ so they can experience Him too. But they can't have Christ if we all just give up. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, so it's stupid to just quit. Don't ever give up.

And the last part: cus the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to love- Every day, every second, every breath you have God gave you. So be grateful and remember to live for Him and love and forgive and never give up. That's the least you can do.
