What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of

Last week I finished one of my religion classes, New Testament History and Reading. This was the third of the 4 religion classes required for an undergraduate degree. Each week we had to journal our thoughts as we read for the coming week's class; I found this to be very enjoyable since I love to write and it helped me to really focus on the reading assignment. The week we studied Galatians I found this verse in chapter 5: The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
I know that I've read this verse before but this time it really jumped out at me. Faith, expressing itself through love. Without love we are nothing; without love there is no meaning to doing good works; without love there would not be God for after all, God is love. We are to show what we believe through showing love to the world. I had to think of those lyrics to the Bacharach song:
Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.
No not just for some but for everyone.
