Let Love Conquer

This song, as written and performed by Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart from their Big World album, played earlier today. It's seems by the hour we are reminded of just how much hate and evil exists in the world. Whether it be through one's actual actions or one's words, it is clear that society's twisting of "love" and "hate" combined with "truth" has brought us to a point that many don't know what to do.

What they perceive as hatred isn't.
What is true hatred doesn't bother them.
They call for love, as long as it doesn't contain truth.
And truth is passed off as opinion and justification to continue in the wrong.

If God is Love, then love can't conquer when God is denied and rejected. Eventually, there has to be a spiritual breaking and transforming breakthrough. Without one's acknowledgement of their life in relation to God, truth will be ignored, love with be meaningless and hatred will be skewed.

Do we need to let love conquer? Absolutely.

But it's efforts will be hindered and restrained if we don't let God prevail. The two go hand in hand, for God and love is one and the same.

Somehow we've arrived at a place where we think we can love without truth. And every form of hatred is wrong. And both are wrong.  There is a time for love and time for hate. And truth must be present in all of it.

Pray this #communitySaturday, that as we interact, that God would prevail... in both our words and our deeds. Pray that truth would be at the forefront of what we say and love would motivate what we do. Pray that hatred would be properly directed at evil and sin, rather than those who commit it. Pray that God would help us, during these troubled times, for many are in spiritual trouble. May lives be changed because they see in us that change that Christ has brought.

For we all have sinned
And all are broken.
We all need Christ.
For this day. For every day.
For the glory of God
May Love conquer all.
