Livin' on Love.

"I've learned by now to be quite content, whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much; with much as with little." Philippians 4:12

This verse has been applied to money, to things, to friends, to happiness, and to many other things. I, however, like to think of it as things going my way. And lately I have learned to be quite content in any circumstance God gives me. I'm content with whatever trial I go through or mountain top I bask on, because I know it all comes from God and it all has a purpose. I'm learning to be happy when nothing goes my way... and when everything's going my way. After all, it shouldn't be my way anyway - it should be God's. He knows what He's doing. So why worry about it?

The title of the blog is a song that comes to mind when I hear this verse. - "Livin' on love, buying on time. Without somebody 'nothin ain't worth a dime. It's like an old fashioned story book rhyme, livin' on love. Now it's sounds simple. That's what you're thinkin'. But love could walk through fire without blinkin'. It doesn't take much. You get enough, livin' on love."

Now that song is obviously about loving a person... but I like to think that it can be about loving God. When we love Him dearly, we don't need anything else. We've got that love. Without Him "nothin' ain't worth a dime." So like the verse says, we should be content no matter what we go through, because we've got God. We've got Love.
