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
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.
