“What the world needs now is love, sweet love, that’s the only thing that there’s just too little of….” So goes an old popular song.
The belief that love is a finite commodity has infected the world with a bullying mentality. Wounded hearts beget heart-wounders and so it goes. But what if love was not a finite force but an infinite resource to wash away all the world’s wounding? What if we knew bland indifference could be assuaged by tender attention, blunt rejection by joyful acceptance and blind malice by immense, intentional kindness?
And the Bible does say this, “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;”Acts 17:24, 25
