"What the world needs now is love sweet love, it's the only thing that there is just too little of, what the world needs now is love sweet love, no not just for some but for everyone" sung by Burt Bacharach and the Posies. I truly believe that no truer words were ever spoken. Love is a topic that has been sung about and written about millions of times over. Yet somehow the message is not utilized enough. According to Matthew 22:verses 36-40 in the New International Version of the bible, you should : “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor,.1 Corinthians 13 vs13 says: an now abideth faith hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
I can not speak for the world and surely this blog is only a matter of my own personal opinion. However, as I reflect upon my life experiences I can honestly say if not for the love of God, I would not be here today. If it were not for the love of God, I would have been a soldier in a army headed for defeat, a wayward child running down a path of utter chaos and mayhem. Many days he has awaken me from a comfortable and pleasant sleep, helped me out of my bed and prepared me for the day. Those days when I did not want to go to school or work those days when my bones wretched in pain. If it were not for the love of God, I'd have no one to comfort me in my days of loss or sorrow; no one to understand the inner desires of my heart. People can and will disappoint you. Family, friends and relationships can be fragile and you may never even see the betrayal coming down the track until you are hit from behind by a trusted or dear one you love. I may not always understand Gods reasoning, nor all that he does in my life. Yet I look forward to each lesson he has to teach and each story he tells through me. I am grateful for the people that he has arranged to come into my life. His examples speak in truth. Only those who believe in him truly profit from his labor. He first loved us and gave his only begotten son so that those who so ever believeth in him shall not perish. God is more than worthy of my love and affection, he is a able God; a rock in a higher place than I, in him do I trust.
Sooooooo...."What's Love Got To Do With It" one asks? Love has everything in the world to do with it. It's the motion in the ocean; it moves the waves in the sea, it brightens the day and lights the night. It sings a melody that eludes a deafening silence yet., it is quiet and still when you need to hear yourself breathe. It's the smile on a the face of person who was thought not to have anything to smile about. It's the heart of a mother, father, grandmother and child. If you have ventured out and loved just one other person, you have made a difference in a life that will touch many others. Having a pure open heart, and giving it to others has greater benefits then one could every hope to receive. Love is a guiding light and is as necessary as air is to breathe. Simply put, no life is ever complete without the presence of love.
Mrs. Gail thank you so much for your response on my page. I really appreciate it. I thought I would return the favor and visit your blog site, and I have to tell you, I was absolutely blown away. There is nothing, NOTHING, like hearing the word of God. I can sit here and write you a novel on how much I enjoyed your posts. But what really amazes me is this.... you don't speak with second hand experience, or second hand wisdom, you speak like a person with a first hand personal relationship with God. I'm not just a writer, I'm a musician and I have 5churches that I play for, and I hear so many people talk more to showcase their degrees and fancy words, and personal perceptions of God. But to be able to come across a person, who speaks with a certainty, that I just can't sit here and describe, it does my heart well. I admire your writing ability. And let me tell you this, this is my first time visiting this site, and I did it simply to return the favor; but see....... when I come back next time its strictly for me. I'm coming back to learn something. it's no longer about you, but what God is giving you to say. I appreciate you not because of who you are, or what you are or even what you do, but simply your obedience to the will of God to do this. I WILL BE BACK! And i say that boldly! This blog definitely got my attention.
