AntiDisestablishmentarianism

Whew! 28 letters in this word. (It is a real word meaning the opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England.) But, do you know an even bigger word?  It is LOVE!

The Beatles, in 1967, wrote/sang, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. Listen to the words again. They hold a lot of truth. As believers in Christ, we know of His unconditional love for us. So, if all we need is love, do you feel loved? Are you sharing love? Do you express love?

A dear, best friend….do you love them? Your spouse/children, do you love them, have you told them you love them? Dog, cat, iguana, fish, your pets, do they know they are loved? A scenic route, a mountain view, waves rushing to shore, do you love the picture they create? Love is all around us and with our dear Lord, love lives inside of us too. So many ways to define LOVE. 

What does God’s Holy Word have to say about love? I John 4: 7-9, “My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him.”

LOVE, is the biggest word you can hold within your heart, mind and soul AND share with the world.  Our world needs you to share LOVE. Dig deep, God has filled you with HIS precious love.

All you need is love and He has given you all HIS love.
