I was listening to a Spotify playlist at work this week when the song One Look by Alexis Ffrench featuring Leona Lewis came on. It was a beautiful song about long-lasting love that came to an end at (I assumed) the passing of one of the people. It’s one of those songs that left a mark long after it was over.
One Look reminded me of the inevitable end to the time I have with the people I love, especially with my wife. It reminds me not to get frustrated by small insignificant things that seem like a a bigger deal in the moment than they really are. It reminds me to choose to put love into action, which for me looks like 1 Cor 13.
That’s one of my favorite things about music: how it can speak right to your heart and offer reminders, encouragement, or overwhelm you with gratitude. I am grateful to have been reminded by music this week.
