SAY YESSS!!!




“I’m not worried about a thing, ‘cos I know who’s in control. There’s no limit to what you can do, you’re almighty and all powerful. When Jesus say yes, nobody can say no!”
 
There are so many amazing songs in the world; songs that make us think, laugh, scream out in passion…

Then again, there are so many atrocities to music that make us want to puke and throw our phones against the wall. Those are for another day.

I listen to so many beautiful songs, watch so many wonderful movies, read so many awesome books and wonder: when did God become an abomination?

Just like swear words, His name is edited out of some DSTV channels; it is almost a crime to even hint at His existence in many schools in America. Many persons have become so anti-God that secularism has itself become a religion.
 
But I heard this song and I fell in love. Not because I imagine that the singers truly believe in what they are singing (Beyonce did look a mite uncomfortable and less energetic than usual and Kelly seemed to be trying to dredge up the faith that she used to have when she was a child in the church choir) but that they cared enough for Michelle to come together to sing a song that in this day is unusual in itself and for each of them (with the possible exception of Michelle).

There are two lessons on true love that I picked from the song:

1.     God should be celebrated on top of our lungs from the highest of mountains to the bottoms of oceans (love your God with all your heart and might); and
 
2.     True friendship stands all tests and triumphs always (love your neighbor as yourself).
 
I will not preach today. But I will quote Albert Camus, “I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out that there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out that there is.”

Say yes today, to true love!!!
