Like a Candle in the Dark

I love Collective Soul's song Shine, but today I discovered that Dolly covers it ...

A snippet of the lyrics:

Love is in the waterLove is in the airShow me where to lookTell me, will love be there?Will love be there?
Teach me how to speakTeach me how to shareTeach me where to goTell me, will love be there?Will love be there?

I have yet to look and not find love. I spend each December opening up the windows in my day and looking inside. Whenever I look for it, I find it.

It weeps with those who weep. It rejoices with those who rejoice. It shines like a candle in the dark. It glows in the warmth of friendship and flows like communion. It pools like mercy.

There is darkness and there is hate, there is bitterness and there is sorrow. But when I look for love, it is not overcome. Love remains.


1 Corinthians 13:13 - So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
