Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture comes from 1 John 4:19: We love because [God] first loved us. (NRSV)
The Beatles’ song, All You Need Is Love, keeps running through my mind. Yes, there is truth in the statement that we need love. But love isn’t something we have to seek, fall into, or do something in order to find. Because more important than the catchy words John Lennon wrote in this song is the truth found in the ones from 1st John - God first loved us. The one who created us and provided for us, does already, and always will, love us.
So the question is, how might we humans react differently in the world if we knew, and trusted, deep in our hearts and minds that we are already loved and always will be?! Hmmm....
Blessings. And prayers.
