There’s an old song that states, “What the world needs now
is love, sweet love.” The truth is the world doesn’t just need love now; the
world has always needed love.
The political fireballs burning now spit sparks across the
land. Opinions fly based on which news cast was watched. We can debate these happenings without a
solution until the blaze burns hotter because governments can’t transform a
person’s heart.
While programs and laws can help bring temporary change,
only the Lord God Almighty, who created the heavens, the earth, and humanity
has the answer.
And the answer is repentance and humility toward Him. Violence
stems from hatred, and hatred is born from a soul that is separated from God.
We throw the word love around like it’s a catch phrase for
all kinds of feelings. We love our families, our dog, chocolate, or our car.
Each of these have a different attachment to our lives, but we reference them
with the same word.
What is real love?
