LOVE IS THE ANSWER WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS

By Judy Lee Jenkins

LOVE

 

We all know the expression. When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Sometimes you don’t know how to handle stress in your life or how to make everything that seems wrong right. You realize the you are not perfect even though others expect you to be perfect. You put your faith in Christ but that makes some think all the more you should be perfect and when you are not, they call you a hypocrite.

Yet they don’t understand that is the reason you do put your faith in Christ because HE was the only perfect one, not yourself. HE alone is the only one we can look to and realize is perfectly righteous. That is the reason therefore we need HIM to be our Savior because we cannot be perfect in ourselves. Our perfection only comes through HIM.

What to you do then when you feel overwhelmed with an issue that you feel you cannot solve? What do you do when you feel those who are the closest to you now want nothing to do with you and try to seek revenge against you? Awhile back I wrote a song entitled LOVE IS THE ANSWER. When someone seeks revenge against you, should you seek revenge back? Not according to Jesus.

He taught us to love those who hate us. Jesus indeed not only was the great teacher but he led by example. As he hung in agony from the cross, he said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” What love to those who despite-fully used Him! What a beautiful example HE gave to us all! Jesus is the full embodiment of love. Here are the lyrics to this song I wrote awhile back and posted last Feb. during the Valentine season. I wish you could hear the melody because it turned out quite pretty:

LOVE IS THE ANSWER

WHEN LIFE OVERWHELMS YOU
AND YOU FEEL SO AFRAID
AND HOPE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
WILL VANISH AND FADE.

YOU LONG FOR A RAINBOW
RIGHT AFTER THE RAIN,
YOU HOPE FOR SOLUTIONS
INSTEAD OF THE PAIN!

CHORUS

LOVE IS THE ANSWER,
LOVE IS THE KEY,
LOVE IS THE BRIDGE
THAT CROSSES THE SEA.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER,
LOVE IS THE KEY,
IT OPENS THE DOOR THAT
SETS OUR HEARTS FREE.

2ND VERSE

SOME DAYS YOU FEEL ALONE IN DEEP DESPAIR,
MOST FOLKS SEEM TOO BUSY TO NOTICE OR CARE,
YOU WISH FOR THE FLOWERS
INSTEAD OF THE WEEDS,
YOU REACH FOR THE CLOUDS,
YOU PRAY GOD KNOWS YOUR NEEDS.

CHORUS

LOVE IS THE ANSWER,
LOVE IS THE KEY,
LOVE IS THE BRIDGE
THAT CROSSES THE SEA.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER,
LOVE IS THE KEY,
IT OPENS THE DOOR
THAT SETS OUR HEARTS FREE!
