ONE love, blood, life
Not my favourite of Cranberries' songs, but a good message all the same - thanks for posting it.
Fearlessness:
"I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." John 14:27 NLT
"We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear, in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live." Luke 1:74-75 NLT
"Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love." 1 John 4:18 NLT
Happiness:
"Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always)." 1 Thessalonians 5: 16
"I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing." John 15: 11"
Probably referring to Scriptures like that.
"The other day, I had these Jehovah's Witnesses come round to my house, and they tried to convince me that the Pope was the Devil's representative on Earth. So I told them that Jesus was the world's first communist. So they left. They were genuinely enraged."
"My spiritual quest is for me to understand God. I've gotta educate myself, cos the church isn't going to show me God. They put themselves next to God so that you've got to go through them to get to God. I don't believe that."
"I believe in the spirit," he says. "All the great tribes, through time, have all got it down to the one spirit - the Aborigines, the Incas - all the prophets believed in the one God. But the organised churches have hijacked religion off all of us, they've stolen God from us, they've put the priest next to God."
