Love is the answer

"Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Romans 13:10

Heard a song on the radio today on my way to work that really spoke to my heart. It's by a group called Building 429 and the song is titled "I Believe". The lyics go like this:

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for His hand

Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand

Open up your mind and then open up your heart

You will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer

I believe love will find a way

I believe that love is the answer

I believe love will find a way

Violence has spread worldwide and there's families on the streets

We sell drugs to children now, well why can't we just see

that all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today

Money is our incentive now so that makes it ok

But I believe that love is the answer

I believe love will find a way

I believe that love is the answer

I believe love will find a way

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for His hand

Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand

I believe that love is the answer

I believe love will find a way

I believe that love is the answer

I believe love will find a way

Jesus is the Answer for the World Today

Above Him there's no other

Jesus is the Way

Jesus is the Answer for the World Today

Above Him there's no other

Jesus is the Way

Since our trip to Africa, we've come to realize more than ever how much we have in common with those we ministered to. We sleep, we eat, we laugh, we cry. Our need to know we're loved and that someone cares is the same. It's the same. As we were returning home, we met a South African man in the gift shop at the Johannesburg airport. When he saw our t-shirts he proceeded to ask us about our trip. After hearing a little bit about it, I'll never forget what he had to say next. He said "You have given the people hope. They now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone loves them and cares enough to come and help them. Their lives have been changed forever." You see...love is the answer. My prayer is that we'll all, wholeheartedly, embrace that truth.......soon.
