"Be" is a very small word, but a very important idea. Some of this I've touched on before, but I want to really explore. Because there's an absolute truth in the universe. But unless you know this truth, and believe this truth, it really doesn't mean anything to you. It's a gift. And even though someone gives you a gift, it's not until you RECEIVE it that you can enjoy it. So let's start with the truth. Look at Acts 2:17 in the NLT, "'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams." Did you catch that? He poured out His Spirit on ALL people. Not on the people who do this, this, and this. ALL people. Let me say it another way from 2 Corinthians 5:14, "For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead." What Jesus did on the cross He did once for all... for all of you all. For everybody. Jesus said, "And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself" (John 12:32 NLT). Everyone. That's what the cross did. I always say it like this: Either the cross changed EVERYTHING, or it didn't change ANYTHING. And believe you me, it changed everything. For everyone. Jesus drew us all into Himself and died, so that we might die. And then God raised His Son from the dead so that we might live. And not just live any life, but live HIS abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life by letting HIM live it in us, and through us, and as us. That was the cross. And it is finished. It is true, right now. For everybody. But does everybody know this? No. Does everybody believe this? No. Does everybody experience this? No. Because there's a difference between the truth... and that truth that you know. The truth sets you free. But if you don't know it and believe it you still act like you're in bondage. There's a difference between God setting you free and you BEING free, if I can say it that way. There's a difference between God pouring His Spirit out on you and you receiving that Spirit. Without getting too far ahead of myself, there are two main instances of this word "be" that I want to focus on in this Rant series. 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." And Romans 12:2, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." BEING in Christ, and BEING transformed. Understanding that we ARE in Christ and that we've BEEN transformed. And then BEING who we are. Accepting who we are. Learning who we are by learning who Jesus is. Not through works and labor, but through faith. Guys, we're not human doings. We're human beings. And when we BE who we are... that's when things reveal themselves to be in Divine Order. That's when things flow. That's when things get abundant. And easy. And fun. That's when we can truly live!

The conclusion sums it all up. You take it all in and you make it concise. You give it a bottom line. You pull out what is most important. The conclusion is love. Fear God--revere Him in awe, because His love is so awesome--and obey His commandment--the New Commandment for the New Man, to love one another as Jesus loves us. That's what it's all about. You can literally do whatever you want. Nobody can stop you. But when you know what you REALLY want--to be loved, and accepted--then you can write a different story. And when you know WHERE that love and acceptance comes from you can stop looking for love in all the wrong places. You can go straight to the source. Instead of trying everything under the sun--and finding out that it's all vanity--you can draw from the SON. From the heart. From deep inside. It really is like the Wizard of Oz. Everything we're looking for is what has already been freely given. That's why the good fight of faith is laying hold of eternal life. Not getting it, not earning it, but receiving it. Receiving from God is so vitally important. Because it's not necessarily the truth that sets you free as much as it's the truth you KNOW that sets you free. If you know and believe that you've been given a gift... that's when you can enjoy it. That's when you can experience it. That's when the truth becomes true for you. And that's when you understand the story. Because you know the conclusion. God wrote the end from the beginning. It is finished, and it has been from the foundation of the world. We don't need a move of God. God already moved. We need a revelation of Jesus so that we can understand the move of God. We don't need anything from Daddy--what's His is ours. We simply need to know what we've got and we need to start using what we've got. Sharing what we've got. Because if the conclusion is love the conclusion is GIVING and not GETTING. Receiving and RELEASING. Love is giving. For God so loved the world He GAVE His only begotten Son. Jesus didn't just give His life for us, He gave His life TO us. And now we can partake of the Divine Nature. Now--through the Holy Spirit, our love receptor--we can obey the New Commandment. We can let God love us, and let the love fill us to overflowing. And when we know and believe that we ARE loved... we CAN love. You can't give what you don't have, and you can only give what you do have. Jesus told us to love one another AS HE LOVES US. The love comes from the source. From the God who is love. He loves us and we love Him back by loving each other. Not because we're afraid He'll "get us" if we don't, but because what we have is too good to keep to ourselves. A life filled (to overflowing) with love is an abundant life. It's a life worth living. And, bottom line, that's what life is for. Life is for living. We get so mixed up sometimes trying to make life be what the world says it's "supposed to be." But true life, real life, eternal, everlasting, abundant, Resurrection Life, is all about love. Being loved by God and loving others with that same love. That's what it's all about. That's what I've found. That's my conclusion.

Here's the conclusion. The thing that's above all else. The thing that's the most important. Here's the bottom line. Ready? In a Word... love. It's all about love. Love is what we crave. What we NEED. Without it, we have nothing. Without it, we abide in death. Which is why we're willing to spend our three T's (Time, Talent, Treasure) trying to get it. It's that valuable. That important. That vital. But here's the problem: If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working? If love is a gift that is freely given, why do you think you can earn it? And if God IS love, why do you keep looking for love in all the wrong places? Remember Psalm 37:4? "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Which, as I've Ranted on at length, does NOT mean if you delight yourself in the Lord He'll give you all the "stuff" you want. It's not a formula. Not a genie in a bottle that grants wishes. It's not an "if then" statement. It's, in fact, the same thinig. BY delighting ourselves in the Lord we RECEIVE the desire of our heart. Because love is what we desire. And love is who God is. And watch this: He already gave it (love, Himself) to us. So it's not at all about getting. It's about receiving that which we've already been given. It's about receiving it, and releasing it. Receiving it BY releasing it. I'm convinced there are only two important things in the universe: God and people. Love God and love people. Love God BY loving people. But you can't give what you don't have. That's why it's so important to receive His love. Adam was God's son but didn't know it. Jesus was God's BELOVED Son because He let Himself be loved by God. God loved Adam, but Adam didn't have the Holy Spirit--the love receptor--so it seemed too good to be true. It seemed like something that needed to be earned. Which is exactly the lie that the serpent hissed in Eve's ear. Do in order to be. But that's never what God wanted. He wanted us to rest in His loving arms. To have faith in Him. To know and believe the love of God. To fight the good fight of faith and lay hold of eternal life. Lay hold of the gift we've been given so that we can enjoy it. So that we can experience it. So that we can share it. The conclusion is not "Work real hard and earn it." The conclusion is fear (revere, be in awe of) God and obey His New Commandment. The New Commandment is to love one another as Jesus loves you. And those two--just like delight and desire--go hand in hand. We obey Him BECAUSE we are in awe of Him. Not because we're afraid of Him, in the sense that He'll "get us" if we don't obey, but because His love is literally the best thing going. It's the Way, the Truth, and the Life. It's the more excellent way. A life without love is not life at all. It's a struggle to try to get the carrot, but the stick always moves it just out of reach. Without love there's always "one thing you lack." And that one thing, of course, IS love. Love covers the multitude of sins. Love is the answer. The solution. Love is what life is all about because to live is to love and to love is to live. Love IS life. It's all about love. There's nothing else that matters. We try to get it until we understand (with heart knowledge, not just head knowledge) that we already have it. And then we stop working and start resting. Then we start to share what we've got. The love inside us fills us to overflowing and comes out naturally!

It's easy to get stuck on something. Believe me. It's easy to get caught up, swept up, and the next thing you know your molehill has become a mountain. You find yourself trying to overcome instead of resting in the One who already overcame. This life becomes about anything BUT living. Because to live is to love, and to love is to live. When we lose sight of that, it's easy to get lost. But look at 1 Peter 4:8. In the NIV it reads, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." In the NLT it reads, "Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins." Above all. Most important of all. The conclusion. The solution. Love each other. Ecclesiasties showed us that the conclusion was to fear (reverence, be in awe of) God and obey His commands. We know His New Commandment is to love one another as He loves us. That's it guys. That's the simplicity of Christ that 2 Corinthians 11:3 speaks of. That's our rock. Our foundation. When we build at love we are starting at the end, just like God does. He knows the beginning from the end because He IS the beginning AND the end! Love is the beginning and the end! And everything in between! Love is the conclusion. In the book of Hebrews we learn that God once spoke through His prophets, "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son..." (Hebrews 1:2 NIV). Jesus IS the Word of God. When God spoke, He said Jesus. That's His first and final Word on every subject. Let there be light. Love lights up the world. But we seem to use love as a last chance instead of first choice. We seem to try everything in OUR power before we're willing to give God room to operate. And that, quite frankly, is why things are the way they are. Because we made them that way. Because we allow them to be that way. I don't think we honestly have any idea how powerful we are. The living God lives inside us! But we seem to be content to just scrape by. To put up scraps from the master's table. To beg for healing when we've been given divine health. To ride the roller coaster through the valleys and over the hills when He has made the way straight. We make things so hard on ourselves when we really don't have to. All we have to do is believe. That's the "work" of God. The work of God is to rest. That fits right in with the upside down, backwards economy of the Kingdom, doesn't it? The conclusion is the beginning. But we always want to start where WE'RE at. We tell God how big the storm is instead of telling the storm how big God is. We try to do everything in OUR power, instead of understanding that HIS strength is made perfect in our weakness. But we can't show weakness, right? Heaven forbid we be vulnerable. Heaven forbid we show ourselves to be the REAL people that we all are. Because if we did that we might be rejected. But love isn't rejection. It's acceptace. Love covers THE multitude of sins. ALL sins. Love opens His arms in an embrace that never lets us go. And when we know and believe that we ARE loved... we can love. Which, above all, most importantly, is all the matters. Love is all that matters in this life. Because love IS life. Abundant, eternal, everlasting, Resurrection Life!

When you get right down to it... it's all about love. Fear God and obey His commands. That's the whole story. The conclusion of the matter. But if you look at it on the surface, you might not see the love. Because love comes from the heart. It is underneath the surface stuff, buried down deep. Which is why we don't look AT people, or THROUGH people, but INTO people. The deep calls out to the deep. The Jesus--the love--in me connects to the Jesus--the love--in you. So today we'll look at that word "fear." In Ecclesiasties 12:13 "fear" is number 3372 in Strong's Hebrew Concordance and it means, "Morally to revere." And according to dictionary.com "revere" means, "to regard with respect tinged with awe." So it's not AT ALL about being afraid of God in the sense that we think He's going to "get us" if we mess up. Which, as I mentioned yestereday, jives with what we know of love. There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear. So it's not that we do what God wants because we're afraid He'll punish us if we don't. That's not why we obey His commands. We obey His commands--the New Commandment, to love one another as He loves us--because we revere Him. Because we are in awe of His love. His love is so big and so glorious and so amazing that once we receive it we can't help but release it. Jesus' New Commandment--more than a "do this or else"--was really Him telling us HOW to love one another. We love one another by receiving and releasing the love He has given to us. And we do THAT through the Holy Spirit. Our love receptor equips and empowers us to love by leading and guiding us into the truth that we ARE loved. And that's the key. It's not about looking for love in all the wrong places, trying to get something that we think we don't have. It's about filling ourselves with the fulness of Christ. It's about experiencing what we do have. And the way we do that is by working out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Which, again, has nothing to do with being afraid of God, and everything to do of being in awe of God. The "working out" is really an out-working. The Spirit is within us, and it reveals the love that's within us. And when we know (and believe) that it's--that HE'S--in there, then He comes out all on His own. You can't give what you don't have, and you can only give what you do have. What you believe is in there comes out. And when you know what's in there--how good it is--you can't keep it in if you try. It's not too good to be true, it's so good it must be true! It's too good to keep to yourself. We don't obey because we're afraid we'll get in trouble if we don't. We obey because a more excellent way. Because sharing what we've got is the best way to truly experience what we've got. Things are real when you share them. They get bigger and more powerful. Abundant. And that's what Jesus came to give us--life (which is love) and that more abundantly!

A lot of times I wonder what in the world we're talking about. We get so stuck on things like "hell" and the "afterlife" that we miss out on things like the days of heaven on earth. Things like abundant life. We read the Law and the Prophets and we miss out on Jesus! Here's my point, and my key verse for this Rant series: "That's the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone's duty" (Ecclesiastes 12:13 NLT). I like the book of Ecclesiates, because I really think it hits on the "without God human experience." Something we're all familiar with. Even me. I grew up in the church, but even still I had a "wilderness experience." Wandering around trying to figure it out all. Looking for love in all the wrong places. Thinking I could do it myself and didn't need anybody else. Certainly not God. But guess what: I came to the same conclusion. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. Not only could I not do it myself, I didn't even know what "it" was. The song line, "How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?" fit my life perfectly. But then God stepped in. My dad--a pastor--knew that I needed a job. And his best friend--another pastor--needed summer help at his job and could get me in. So for a whole summer I got to ride around in a truck with the man who would become MY pastor, and my Spiritual father. Because he showed me what I was missing. What I was looking for. He showed me a more excellent way. He showed me the answer. The conclusion. The solution. He showed me Jesus. And that's it right there. "Fear God and obey His commands." I plan to get into that word "fear" in the next couple of days, but for today I just want to say we could easily render it as "Be in awe of." It's not fear in the sense of being afraid. Because perfect love CASTS OUT fear. There is no fear in love. And God is love. And I plan to get into the "commands" in this series too. But for today I want to quote the New Commandment. Because we are a New Man, so that's the one that applies to us. "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another" (John 13:34). Not surprisingly, these two conclusions go hand in hand. Be in awe of God because He loves you. And love one another with that same love. That's the whole point. That's the bottom line. That's why we're here. We were created by the God who is love to be an expression of Himself. An expression of love. We are God's love letter to all  of creation. To ourselves, to each other, to the earth and everything in it. The days of heaven ON EARTH, remember? This life isn't meant for always trying to get something you don't have and always trying to be someone you're not and always trying to get to somewhere else. This life is for living. For being who you are, where you are, with what you've got. And that's why God's Word TELLS us who we are, what we've got, where we are, and why we're here by telling us who Jesus is, what He did on the cross, and what it means for us today. The Bible isn't a "how to live" manual. It's a picture of the One who lives in you. The whole story--history--is HIS story. And it's OUR story when we find ourselves in Him, and find Him in ourselves. That's my conclusion, anyway. Christ in you, the hope of glory, is the mystery that has been (and continually is being) revealed to you, and in you, and through you, and as you!

If you enjoy the ride then it doesn't feel like a never-ending journey. It doesn't feel like a struggle to get somewhere. If you enjoy the ride then you understand that we have already arrived at the finish line. The journey isn't about getting anywhere. It's about discovering where we are. And who we are. And why we're here. It's about the mystery--Christ in you the hope of glory--being revealed. And that's the best part about this ride we're on--it's not something WE do. It's something Jesus already did. And we don't have to "figure Him out." He reveals Himself to us. By revealing Himself in us, and through us, and as us. He reveals Himself every time we love one another. Every time the Word becomes flesh. Every time love becomes charity (love in action). And, believe it or not, that's HOW we enjoy the ride. By turning our focus off our ourselves and onto others. If you're always chasing it (it being love, of course) you're never going to find it. The stick will always move the carrot just out of reach. You can't find it unless you go to the source. And if you're looking for love in all the wrong places you're setting yourself up for failure. You're robbing yourself of what you've already been given. See, it's not about "getting." It's about giving. Because love IS giving. And every time you love someone you're stepping out in faith. Because you can't give what you don't have. So if you love someone, on some level you believe that you are loved. And faith is like a muscle. The more you use it, the more it grows. You take a baby step--like Peter when Jesus was walking on the water--and you see that God DOES in fact have your back. And that gives you the confidence to take another step. And another, and another, until you're running and jumping and dancing. Until you're walking in newness of life. But keep it clear in your mind--the mind of Christ--what we're talking about. Love. You take a baby step of love. You let God's perfect love cast out all fear and you love someone with no expectations. You don't love in order to get something. You love because you have something. Something that's not too good to be true, but something that's so good it MUST be true. In fact, it's the Truth! And the Way, and the Life! It's your nature. Your true identity. And through the Holy Spirit--our love receptor--we can go straight to the source and receive it (and release it). We can stop looking for it in all the wrong places. We can stop trying to make this life "what it's supposed to be" and we can let it be what it is. We can let it be abundant. We can let it be glorious. We can enjoy it! God had a plan for all mankind. And He accomplished that plan on the cross. It is finished. So instead of US trying to finish it... we can rest. We can enjoy the fruit of HIS labor. The fruit of the Spirit. Which is love. We can truly live, because we ARE loved, and because we CAN love. There's nothing more important, or more real, than love. WIthout it, we abide in death. With it, we live. It's all about love!

Life is for living. But we seem to miss out on this truth as we rush from one thing to another trying to make life fit into a box. Trying to make things be how they're "supposed to be." We never seem to be able to slow down and just enjoy the ride. I read somewhere that the time you enjoy wasting isn't really wasted at all. And this is hard for me, personally, because I always feel like I'm not doing enough. Like if I do something purely for the enjoyment of doing it, I feel guilty because I should have been doing this, this, and this. But I'm telling you, that's no way to live. That's not living at all. Let me say it another way: We think we're "humans" trying to have a Spiritual experience. When really we're Spirits having a human experience. God made this world for US. For us to ENJOY. Think about Jesus. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. He came down from heaven to earth and He had Himself a human experience. He did all the things we do. He ate, drank, slept, went to parties. He didn't even start His ministry until He was thirty, right? And even while He was ministering He still found time to do all the things we seem to think less of. Like simply having dinner with someone. Hanging out with people. And yes, He ministered to whoever was around, wherever He found Himself, but I think that's the point. Instead of always running around looking for people to minister to, tryinig to be a "super Christian" (whatever that is), I think we should just be a lighthouse. It shines light right where it's at. And the light shines on whoever comes nearby. I always say it like this: Do what you can do, with what you've got, where you're at, for those around you. If you're trying to force it, then you're not resting. If you're trying to make something happen then you don't understand the finished work. And, listen, I understand that we have to do our part. God made the Way of Grace. We respond with the Walk of Faith. If you're praying for a baby, but you're not... doing what it takes to make one... then something pretty immaculate would have to happen. If you're praying for a job, but not putting out any applications... see what I mean? There's a balance. You don't have to--and can't--do it yourself. But you have to show up. You can't fight upstream and get anywhere, but if you want to flow you have to jump in the river. That's where faith comes in. When Peter asked Jesus if he could walk on the water, and Jesus said, "Come," Peter still had to take that step. He stood on the Word. He could have stayed in the boat, but he trusted God. That's what faith is. And that's HOW we enjoy the ride. We trust Daddy that He knows what He's doing. And then we let Him do it in, and through, and as us. You can't enjoy the ride if you're not in the car--or the Ark, might be a better metaphor here. I don't think God forces us to do what He wants us to do. I think He stands at the door and knocks. He makes things available and invites us to partake of them. All we have to do is open the door. Be open to His voice. Open to love. And that's when the ride is enjoyable. That's when life is worth living. Because to live is to love, and to love is to live!

One of my favorite songs has a line in it that says, "Free and easy down the road I go." And when I hear that song I can't help but think that that's what Daddy wants for us. I know it's what I want for MY son... and I know that God's love for us is even more perfect (mature, complete, fully realized) than that. Daddy doesn't want us to struggle. He doesn't want us blown about by any wind of doctrine. He doesn't want us to fight to try to swim upstream. He wants us to flow. He wants us to enjoy the ride. Why do you think we get a New Day every day? Look at Lamentations 3:22-23 in the NLT, "The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning." Jesus IS the New Day. The Sabbath day of rest. In Him we don't have to struggle to get by by the skin of our teeth. In Him we have abundance. And He carries us along day by day. I think what I'm trying to say is: If you're having a bad day (stop judging according to appearance and judge righteous judgment because it's all working together for good) just wait until tomorrow. You get a fresh start. The past is in the past and there's nothing you can do it. The future probably isn't going to look like what you think it's going to look like anyway. That's why today is called the present--because it's a gift. It's all we've got. And it's all we need. Another song lyric says, "I've got everything I need, and nothing that I don't." When we truly understand and believe this, that's when we can be content. That's when we can be at peace. When we stop trying to control everything, and direct everything, and get where WE think we're supposed to get to... that's when we find ourselves exactly where GOD wants us to be! We try so hard sometimes to MAKE things be the way they're "supposed to be." And, in my experience, that never works out. The harder I try to force a round peg into a square hole the more frustrated I get. If you're frustrated, you're not at peace. And when you understand that peace comes from within, not from without, then you can be a thermostat instead of a thermometer. You can SET the climate instead of reacting to it. You can wake up in a day and KNOW that you've got everything you need. Because His mercies begin afresh each morning. It's a fresh start. My Bible case proclaims, "God allows U-turns." And I always take it a step farther, because I think God ENCOURAGES U-turns. You never have to keep going down a path just because you're already on it. You never have to stay stuck. You're never too old to dream. Never too old to pursue that desire God put in your heart. And here's the best part: When you're on the RIGHT road... when you're expressing yourself in that special way that you were created to express yourself (HIMself) it's easy. It's rest. It's a flow. It makes the ride enjoyable. And I'm not saying you won't have to work hard. I'm simply saying it'll be worth it in the end... and worth it in the middle. If you love what you do it's more than a "job." It's a calling. It's a purpose. It's real life!

Stuff happens. Every day. And basically we have two choices: 1. We can judge by appearance. We can ride the emotional rollercoaster. Way up when things are "good" and way down when things are "bad." But I can tell you right now--and you probably already know--that's exhausting. Not to mix my metaphors or anything, but the other choice is to get off the crazy train. To, as Jesus suggested (commanded) judge righteous judgment. To see the bigger picture. To understand that it came to pass, not to stay. And that's where being content comes in real handy. Because worry is like a rocking chair--it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere. We can freak out and stress out about stuff, we can run around like chickens with our heads cut off... or we can rest in the loving arms of our heavenly Father. We can have faith in God. We can trust Daddy to take care of it. (Especially since we know it is finished and He already took care of it.) I guess what I'm trying to say today is: "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 NLT). And this ISN'T a doom and gloom Bible verse. This ISN'T a doom and gloom Jesus Rant. This is a, "every little thing's gonna be alright," Bible verse. A, "take heart," blessed assurance that no matter what happens... Daddy's got your back. Think about it. The book of Hebrews tells us that our high priest, Jesus, went through everything that we have to go through. And not only did He go through it... He overcame it! He lived the victorious, ascended life. And He gave that life to us. So that we could experience it, and enjoy it, as He lives His own abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life in, and through, and as us! Take heart. Be of good cheer. Don't worry about it. Don't stress out because of what something looks like. Remember, it's all working together for the good. Remember, we are complete in Him. Hidden in Him, safe and sound. He overcame the world and that makes us overcomers. I don't want to get too far down this rabbit trail, but I said we ARE overcomers. We HAVE overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our (His AS our) testimony. We don't need to overcome. He already overcame. There's nothing LEFT to overcome. But when you judge by appearance you don't see it that way. You see mountains you need to climb. Guess what, friends: He brought every mountain low and every valley high. He made the Way straight. He did all the heavy lifting. The work is finished.  We don't  need to finish it. He overcame the world. We don't need to. He brought us out of the world and into the Kingdom. He put the Kingdom IN us. He put HIMSELF in us. And all He asked us to do is believe. All he asked us to do is trust Him. When we go our own way, struggling upstream, we generally make things worse. But when we get to a place of rest we can go with the flow. We can stop asking, "Are we there yet?" and just enjoy the ride. We can stop stressing out about things we can't do anything about in the first place, and we can cast on cares on Him. Why? Because He cares for us. Because He's got it. Because He already took care of it. So when stuff happens--and it will, every day--be encouraged. It's only "bad" if you judge it that way. It's working together for good. Daddy's got your back. He loves you. Every little thing is gonna be alright!
