The Greatest love of all

Hmmm....

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL
written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed
performed by Whitney Houston

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my need
A lonely place to be and so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed at least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all

Why is learning to love yourself the greatest love of all? I thought it's either the easiest or the hardest. But certainly not the greatest. You're either too darn selfish, or don't care about the life you have. But it's certainly not a Great thing.

But I think the greatest love of all is to love those who turned from You, openly rebelled against You, made You so hurt and sad and angry time and time again, and who betrayed You, is, to me, the greatest love in the world.

There's no greater love than this, there's no greater love than this
That a man would give his life for a friend
There's no higher sacrifice,
Than a man would give his life

You have paid a precious price for me.

I'm grateful. And I know I'm more blessed than most. The only thing is whether I can remember that when I feel just downright depressed.

For You loved me, when I was so unlovely

You cleansed me with Your own blood

You showed me how much You really loved me

When you bought me

At the highest cost
