What The World Needs Now

I asked God today what He wanted you to know. He said tell them I LOVE THEM! I was thinking, yes, but how do you relay God’s heart on that subject.? Especially in such a fallen world as we see today. His heart is so BIG. His heart is inviting us to all come in and know Him. So, knowing that in my heart, it took me awhile to understand HOW to relay that beautiful sentiment from God to you.

The first thing that came up was a song from the 1960’s called “What The World Needs Now” released in 1965, written by Burt Barach and Hal David. It was sung by Jackie De Shannon and later Dionne Warwick. It was originally offered to Dionne Warwick who turned it down. Dionne Warwick went on to record an album named Here Where The Love Is. Jackie De Shannon also recorded Put A Little Love In Your Heart. The You Tube video link is here for What The World Needs Now. https://youtu.be/XieZAjBTkr4

God is an amazing God who loves to use songs to relay things to us. He uses music and song to touch the deep places in our heart. It is part of His Glory. The Glory is His manifested goodness towards us and to us. Yes, the music and song does not have to be a song only sung in church. The source of that music and song originated from Him first since, we are made in His image. We can tap in for music and song. One of the last songs I can remember from Him to me was, Cinnamon Girl, by Neil Young. He knows me well as I am His spicy girl!

God’s Love for us is unrivaled. We know He sent His only begotten son to come to earth and die for the punishment for sin. Jesus took on the sins of the world because He loved us and wanted a Family. John 3:16 KJV ” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” He loved us first.

Love brings many things to our lives. It brings healing, revelation, abundance, gain, righteousness, more than enough, restitution, grace, deliverance, restoration, recompense, joy, true happiness, dreaming, creating, movement, freedom, wisdom, motion forward, safety, provision, vision, comfort, miracles, signs and wonders, to list a few. Jesus invites us to himself to experience life with Him. We need to get to know Him more by spending time with him in worship and meditating on His word. Talking about Him to our family, friends and neighbors draws His heart near to us. He Loves the exchange of His relationship with us. He Loves to hear us brag about Him. I know people are hurt by human Love that is immature or not represented well. Take the time to learn about unconditional love and sacrificial Love given to us freely from our Jesus.

The 1960’s was a powerful time, like no other, of searching and looking for Love. It was represented in ways that never looked to good. I know there were unsavory things going on however it was a time like now that were shaking up the norms. God uses these times to draw us near. I was only eleven years old in 1967. I was aware of many different things going on in the world. Looking back, it seemed normal because that is what we knew. I remember Vietnam on television and musical change such as the Rock N Roll everything. There was much, much more that was taking place during that time. Even as a child we somehow knew. It feels alot like now.

These next scriptures are how God’s constant love comes towards us.

God Is Love

1 John 4:7-10 TPT

7Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him. 8The one who doesn’t love has yet to know God, for God is love.  9The light of God’s love shined within us when he sent his matchless  Son into the world so that we might live through him.  10This is love:  He loved us long before we loved him. It was his love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins.

Let God’s Love continually find you and saturate your heart. Lean on His Love and you will never be disappointed.!
