Open Your Heart...

Traveling this week so I had to cheat a little bit and go back to an old fashioned band I love, the Goo Goo Dolls.  I apologize for trying to wing it this week, but the Dolls are really never winging it. This week's selection is Let Love In from the CD of the same title.

Not the first one to come up on the YouTube, but one of my favorites.  The cool thing about the video is it gets past the notion that the song is only about an amorous relationship.  For me, it is about finding that ultimate love, Christ.

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in.

Maybe I am wrong, but the above chorus is really clear for me.  Crystal.

You're the only one I ever believed in.  [This sounds to me a lot like Jesus (hopefully.)]
The answer that could never be found. [Christ isn't discovered via a book or map, but through faith.]
The moment you decided to let love in
Now I'm banging on the door of an angel [I'm not sure this lyric fits withtypical connotation of our relationships with Christ, but isn't it like banging on a door, hoping for an answer when we finally get desperate enough to ask for help from Christ and his angels?]
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in. [when we give up on fear and open the door to faith in Christ]

Perhaps it is unintentional, but this seems to be an invitation to reduce the load you are carrying, drop the fear you hold into a jar and throw it out with old milk.  Let love in and find better answers and peace.

Stay safe and enjoy your Friday Night tunes...
