I'm not a huge fan of The Fray, but I'm really enjoying this song today.
A Fact:
You know how the Greek language has several different words for love? Well, in the Bible in John Chapter 21, the whole meaning of the conversation God has with John is lost in translation. The original translation mentions two loves: agape, a deep godly love, and phileo, more of an affectionate love.
"When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?'
'Yes, Lord,' he said, 'you know that I love you.'
Jesus said, 'Feed my lambs.'
16 Again Jesus said, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?'
He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.'
Jesus said, 'Take care of my sheep.'
17 The third time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?'
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, 'Do you love me?' He said, 'Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.' "
In verse 15, Jesus asked if Peter agape'd him. Peter said he phileo'd him.
In verse 16, Jesus asked if Peter agape'd him. Peter said he phileo'd him.
In verse 17, Jesus asked if Peter phileo'd him. Peter said he phileo'd him, and broke down.
A Happy:

A Stress:
