God's word in today's world

Love can change the world


There’s a song by Michael W Smith that I remember from my varsity days: Love one another. Just listen to these beautiful lyrics:

I had a dream that I was speaking

With a prophet from the land of wise

In a crowd of people from the land of troubled hearts

I said we’ve come here for answers

A solution to our world’s demise

He said the journey would be long

But here’s where you start

 

Love one another

Love one another

Work it in to work it out

There could never be enough

Love one another

Love one another

Cause you know without a doubt

You can change your world with love

 

It was a simple conclusion

But I thought that it was rather profound

Just a fundamental law that we should all live by

I took it in to tomorrow

Yea, I walked the earth but I never found

Any corner of the world

Where this did not apply

 

And looking out I saw no method to the madness there

Like in a vision from the Isle of Patmos, I was scared

It was a revelation

Love is getting rare

 

The people of the land united

And in my dream we all agreed

That we should start again

And this would be our creed

 

Love one another

Love one another

Work it in to work it out

There could never be enough

Love one another

Love one another

Cause you know without a doubt

You can change your world with love

 

In the language of the Bible it sounds like this: 12And may the Master pour on the love so it fills your lives and splashes over on everyone around you, just as it does from us to you.

O, may this also be our creed, the motto for our lives!

Scripture

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13

Reflection

How strongly do you love others?

What is your life motto?

How strong is your own self still?

Prayer

Father, You show us the example of powerful love for others. Please make me strong enough to let my own self step back. Please give me the power to sow your love wherever I go, because then the world will look different. Amen.
