Love

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" 

                                                                       John 15:13   NKJV

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No not just for some but for everyone'

When you consider the words of this song, it brings home the truth of it all. Just look at our world today, wars, death, drugs, murder, rapes, stabbings and much, much more. Take for example what is happening in the Holy land and nearby places. What do you think Jesus is feeling at this time. The Holy ground, part of where He lived, walked and loved people. Now a war zone where lives are being wrecked by the devastation of it all. His heart must be breaking, but He cannot intervene because man has free will.

Those who call on Him at this time will be saved; whether at this time or when they are in heaven. Until then, He watches while the devil has a hey day. They need love and He has oceans of it freely to offer, if only they will turn to Him. However, it is not only in the Middle East but the whole world is in pain also, because of dictators, drug barons and all types of abuse. They too need love. What can we do, you may well ask? We can pray and keep on praying that that those responsible, will fall under conviction and the one's who are controlled by Satan and are pulling their strings, are stopped. Satan incites people; he offers bribes of power and while people suffer in agony and die, he looks around with great satisfaction.

The world needs love; Jesus has that love and we, as men and women of Goid, can change things by praying for peace 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to: 'Pray without ceasing.' This means constantly, whenever you can. There has never been a time, since WW11 that the world really needs love. It's urgent and if Christians all over the world unite and pray without ceasing, then love will come and 'love never fails.' 1 Corinthians 13:8. Jesus never fails, God never fails and Love never fails because God is love 1 John 4:8.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned   

I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
