A prayer asking God to Teach me to love as he loves. In a world permeated with all kinds of ill and strife... loving others becomes one of the most important acts of worship we can perform..... Probably the most heart felt lyric i've written up to now.
I heard a testimony of a man that died and went to heaven. He noticed that as people would approach Jesus he would ask them "Did you learn how to love?" when they would answer "Yes" he would Say "Well done...enter in" then Jesus would wrap His arms around them and they would disappear into Him. To me that validates the scripture that says there is no other way to the Father except thru the Son. Beautiful!! :)
Believers learning to love as He loves is the answer to Jesus prayer in John 17 ....... What a lovely thought ...to be able to answer Jesus prayer for a change..... after ALL He does for me!
