The word is
love. It is both a noun and a verb, but we know it best as a verb.
It is a noun,
though. Love is a force. It is the strongest force in the universe.
Love is the strongest force in the
universe.
I wrote
those words over 15 years ago in an online article that landed me on my first mission
trip to Africa.
I asked the person
who invited me, “How did you find me in the middle of nowhere—one traffic light
Burns Flat, America?” As it turned out, I went to preach and teach in a one-traffic-light
town in western Kenya. It had six million people, but traffic lights were rare.
Back to the
question, how did he find me?
He said that
it was the article: Love is the Most Powerful force in the Universe.
So in our
countdown moment for this week, I will add, “Never forget the power of love.”
Do we want
to seek God in what we do going forward?
Do we want
to have orderly worship going forward?
Do we want
to budget wisely going forward?
Do we want
to make sure the coffee pot is plugged in on Sunday mornings going forward?
Sure, we do,
but above all else, we want to be known as followers of Jesus by our love.
We must
never forget or underestimate the power of love.
Going
forward, make sure love is front and center in every decision you make.
