Linking with Charlotte at Spiritual Sunday and Laura at Faith Filled Friday
Love is an amazing thing. It gives courage and a freedom. What I can't do or won't because I'm afraid...if someone I love needs me to do it....or wants me to.....then I'll do it. I'll do it for them....simply b/c I love them.
Love has that kind of power....it pushes me beyond my own limitations...makes me do those things that are terrifying and seem absolutely impossible.
And more than me loving someone is when they love me. Their loving me has this strange power...a motivator that pushes to live my best life....and reach for my dreams. Just as abuse and trauma changes who we are....and how we live our lives and how we move in the world...so also does love.

What an impacting video. How fortunate we are and what a duty we have to pray for these people. I love how the song was sung so worshipfully.
I needed to see this video today to help put things in perspective. I was feeling sorry for myself...thanks.
Thanks for the link to this video!
Yes I agree, love IS a force, a power, that enables! "You raise me up to more than I can be!" Love that! Blessings! Patsy from

Oh, so very true Sarah(Nikki)
Love does change who we are and brings healing to those places where we have been hurt.
A brief message that packs a powerful punch! You made some excellent points. My favorite is that love has the power to push us beyond our own limitations & allows me do those things that are terrifying and seem absolutely impossible.
The power of love...both when received and given
Great song
Beautiful post on the greatest human topic, the strongest emotion - Love!
Love This! Powerful post and I love the picture.
Blessings, Joanne
The words you spoke through this post are real. They touch a deep chord in me, because I can so relate to what you are saying. Love is a powerful motivator. If I love someone I am willing to overlook that person's faults. ANd would go the extra mile. But when I don't love someone, the motivation just isn't there. How true.
This is one of my favorite songs, and this version is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing from your heart, Nikki.
Much love

Can we ever run out of good things to say about love? It's the additive to all of life that gives meaning & purpose to everything, not to mention satisfaction & joy.

an inspiration to do the things that God called us to do because he loves us so much. Beautiful song. Touched my heart!
I love those lyrics!
My daughter just got music for piano for the song You Raise Me Up....and was playing right before we left church this afternoon! I don't know all the words to this song, but the few I do know, are good!
Hi Nikki,
Where would we be without love? I am so glad that God loves us no matter what. His love is so secure and always available for us to draw on.
He does raise me up! Praise God.
Blessings,
