Love is Not a Fight

Love is not a place to come and go as we please. It's a house we enter in, then commit to never leave. So lock the door behind you. Throw away the key. Work it out together. Let it bring us to our knees. Love is a shelter in a raging storm. Love is peace in the middle of a war. And if we try to leave; May God send angels to guard the door. No, Love is not a fight but its something worth fighting for. To some love is a word that they can fall into. But when they're falling out keeping that word is hard to do. Love is a shelter in a raging storm. Love is peace in the middle of a war. And if we try to leave; May God send angels to guard the door. No, Love is not a fight but its something worth fighting for. Love will come to save us; If we'll only call. He will ask nothing from us but demand we give our all. Love is a shelter in a raging storm. Love is peace in the middle of a war. And if we try to leave; May God send angels to guard the door. No, Love is not a fight but its something worth fighting for. Cause I will fight for you. Would you fight for me? It's worth fighting for! - Love is not a Fight, written by Warren Barfield.

That is the theme song for the movie, Fireproof. If you haven't seen the movie yet, I highly recommend it. The message it presents is amazing! Watching that movie made me think of my own marriage and the vows we made to one another almost 3 years ago. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one," Genesis 2:24. Marriage is a huge commitment, but a wonderful one. In my opinion, I am married to the most incredible man ever! You might beg to differ with your hubby, but let's just agree to disagree. :) The movie was such a testament to how tough marriage can be at times, but it's through Christ's love for us, that we can truly know what it means to love another. We are incapable of doing it alone because to most, love is a feeling, but really, love is a choice. Romans 5:8 says, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. .. Christ chose to love us and he chooses to love us still even though we are sinners. He chooses us! We have chosen our spouses and no matter what we go through, we must continue to choose to love them each and every day we walk this Earth.

I don't know where you are in your relationships - married, engaged, dating, or single, but we can make the choice to choose to love everyone we come in contact with on a daily basis. God chose us and by choosing to love others, ultimately we are choosing to love him as well. Remember, love is worth fighting for!


Don't urge me to leave you or turn my back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God - Ruth 1:16
