Greetings and blessings to all of you. There is a song written by Burt Bacharach and song by Dionne Warwick in the early late 60s early 70s. “What the world needs now is Love sweet Love it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of; What the world needs now is Love sweet Love no not just for some but for everyone. That Love the writer is talking about I believe is Jesus. In I John 7 it says “Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God, FOR GOD IS LOVE”. We live in difficult and God rejecting times. We live in a day of folly which means lacking good sense with evil wicked behavior. The Lord told us it would be like this in the last days before His coming. And He is coming. His delay is only because “He is patient with us because He does not want any to perish but ALL to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) Are you able to Love without compromising? Since our world has gone mad and we have discarded the rules of law (defunding the police) and the rules of reason (being okay with others who are okay with the things God hates) and have put feelings and emotions in their place…believing we are loving when we really are feeling sorry for them which has led to making poor decisions such as creating a welfare state (preSocialism)that has produced dependency, fraud, irresponsibility and victim status. We now have acquired more poverty, more crime, more drug abuse, and more fatherless homes. Saints we cannot allow TRUTH to be buried for the sake of pity. Having empathy for a person is understanding why he/she may feel or act the way he/she does. However, your empathy should not have you trusting your feelings and calling it wisdom or kindness then make important decisions; the world does that. Feelings are subjective and in this culture of Deception it is very important that you know this. Because IF you feel you LOVE a person’s behavior/action…it may be just your feelings getting twisted. Run that LOVE by the author of LOVE (Jesus). He may or may not condone that behavior BUT will always love the person. The world loves like the world tolerating all behaviors and idolizing themselves. Christians we should LOVE like Christ.!
With the Love of Christ
