The world needs love...yeah I went there. It needs love that don't quit. Love that don't stop. Love that don't sleep, slumber, or slip. Love that don't tap out, pass out, or give out. Love that don't fade. Love that don't run. Love that don't dip. Love that don't hesitate, think twice, or flip. What the world needs now is love.

What the World Needs Now
I'm gonna have to drop the facade. The world don't need another 4G bigger than your flat screen mounted on your living room wall smart phone. It don't need another pop star hitting number one on iTunes today drowned out by my Lucky Charms tomorrow (they're magically delicious!). It don't need another self-help book by Oprah, Dr. Oz, T.D. Jakes, or that dude who squints a lot out in Houston. It don't need another reality TV show with bachelors, Botox, or bayous. It don't need another slick politician toeing the party line, name dropping on the networks, turning a blind eye. It don't need another movie about hauntings, hangovers, or heroes. Or a gillion-dollar contract for an athlete more doped than a commune in California. It don't need another tweet, update, or post (Hypocrite City pop. Me!). It don't need another steeple, stain glass window, worship leader in skinny jeans, or a too old pastor wearing black-framed glasses and a cardigan.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself...what is love? It is selfless. Period. So how do we truly learn to love? We have to follow the example of Christ. Unfortunately, those are sandals that are too big for me to fill. And they are way too big for you or any other human being to fill. We can only do the best that we flawed humans can do, because we are incapable of complete selflessness. Fortunately, God is able to multiply our feeble efforts to His glory. So, yes, the world is definitely in need of love; and it is also in need of willing hearts who will put themselves out there and trust that God will use the limited resources that they have to offer. Because God is love. We just have to let Him demonstrate it through us to the best of our abilities and trust Him for the result.
And the kind of love the world needs is not love for those who love us, but love for both benign and antagonistic others.
