WHAT EVERYBODY NEEDS IS LOVE People are hungry for love—love they have never known before, true love, sincere love, genuine love, the truly great love of their life, the love of all loves from the Lover of all lovers, who alone can satisfy that deepest yearning of every human soul for total love and complete understanding. People’s hearts are the same the world over. Their longings, loves, hunger for God and His truth, for joy and happiness and peace of mind are God-created and universal. People can never be happy with a heavy heart, a troubled mind, a discouraged spirit, and an unsaved soul. The human soul can never be completely satisfied with anything but utter union with the great and loving Spirit that created it. Flesh can satisfy flesh, but only Spirit can satisfy spirit. Do you want the key to every heart?—Try love! It never fails, because God is love and it’s impossible for Him to fail! Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found thee! Ah, at last I’ve found the reason for it all! Ah, ‘tis love and love alone the whole world yearns for, And ‘tis love that bids us heed Thy call! —Rida Johnson Young (1869-1926), “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life,” paraphrased — 1 John 3:18 ESV - Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. Romans 12:9 ESV - Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 1 John 4:21 ESV - And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. — Jesus, help us to remember that what everybody needs is love and that the solution to any problems in life is love and we can slowly change things that seem impossibly bad through love. Amen!
