Exploring the Spirituality in Popular Songs

High Hopes 
It’s a little song about a tiny ant and a giant rubber tree. This song may seem a bit silly, but within it is a powerful, uplifting message. That is, behind everything accomplished, every success, every dream, achievement, and advancement is hope. In this first of four Songs of Life messages, Rev. Maraj shows us the way live with greater hope, as well as how to develop high hopes! 

Angels Among Us 
Do you believe in angels? Throughout the ages, in art and literature, angels have been portrayed with wings, halos, cherubic faces and flowing robes. But in everyday life, people who claim to have been visited by angels, portray a different picture — a stranger or friend who entered and changed their lives at just the right moment, or a presence appearing in a crisis situation that uplifted and upheld them. And that, perhaps, is the truer representation of angels — a gentle, loving, healing presence. In the second message of this series, Rev. Maraj "tunes" us in to the spiritual messages and life lessons we can learn from the popular song, Angels Among Us. 

The Living Years 
This is a song of someone expressing regrets about not saying things and sharing feelings with a father before the father died. Every one of us has had such regrets — regrets about not saying things or not doing things we wish we would have. Every one of us has said or done things we wish we didn't. In this message, Rev. Maraj talks about how to handle our regrets. 

All You Need Is 
Love Are you seeking happiness in your life? Do you want your life to be more fulfilling and meaningful? Then practice loving yourself. Open your heart to others. Share the love you have. Love is the most incredible power in the universe. There is nothing that makes life more worthwhile than love, nothing that makes relationships more fulfilling than love, nothing that makes the world a better place than love. Love is the reason we are here. It is the key to happiness, the key to fulfillment, the key to knowing our oneness with God. Love is all there is!
