Love 💕:love: is Beautiful!


(from the Latin "Amor Vincit Omnia") means that love is a powerful force capable of overcoming any obstacle, hardship, fear, or adversity, serving as a source of hope and strength to bind people and transform lives, often inspiring extraordinary acts and resilience, though interpretations vary from romantic to divine love.

  • 1 Corinthians 13:7 (ESV): "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things". This verse is widely regarded as the closest biblical parallel, highlighting love's capacity to withstand any obstacle.
  • 1 Corinthians 13:8 (ESV):
    "Love never ends." (Also translated as "Love never fails")
    .
    • 1 Peter 4:8 (ESV): "Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins".
    • Romans 8:37-39 (NLT): "No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us...". This passage emphasizes that nothing—neither death, life, nor powers—can separate believers from the love of God, making it a "conquering" love.
    • 1 John 4:16: "...God is love, and whoever dwells in love dwells in God and God in him".
Biblical Context of Love
The Bible teaches that love is not merely an emotion but a powerful, active force—a foundation for life and a reflection of God’s nature. It is characterized by patience, kindness, and selflessness, as detailed in the "1 Corinthians 13:4-7" passage. The ultimate example of this, according to the New Testament, is the sacrifice of Jesus, which demonstrated a love that triumphs over death and sin.
 
Thinking about music and instrumentation after reading the 24 Jan 2026 session thread, a Shilpa Ray song got stuck in my head. I can't find a great video of the song that was in my head, "O My Northern Soul", but here is another of her songs I really like, performed solo with her harmonium.

 
Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason

I am not usually a Blues enthusiast, but there's something about this song that gives it a bit of a twist. I think it's the extra chord change in the first line. It just feels fresh, and I have been carrying it in my mind these past days, before I even recalled what the song was/who sang it. Searching and identifying songs using the Internet has been among my Top 3 favourite reasons for having the Internet. Simply wonderful!

This is a fun one to sing at karaoke!
 
A great song from the incredible Curtis Mayfield. Of course, hell is what you carry within you (along with heaven), but I love this song nevertheless.
