Ever have to tell a friend something they don't want to hear? As Christians, we're often confronted with situations that go against our understanding of what the Bible teaches us. The problem is, we expect the world to understand that. The result generally feels like judgement. And who wants to associate themselves with a bunch of judgemental people?

I Corinthians 13:4-7 tells us: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I don't know about you, but I can't live up to this ideal all the time. But as the years go by, I've also begun to realize that when I exhibit something other than the above... it probably isn't love. It really doesn't matter how good my intentions are. After all is said and done, love is a choice.

This song attempts to tell someone that I can't go along with something they lay claim to in their life. I hope it does so in a loving way.
