All you need is LOVE!

The song lyrics are familiar to all of us, the Beatles sang about it and a whole generation sought after it.

Most of the time the LOVE we want is acceptance (total). Acceptance by our family, friends, church, social groups and finally ourselves. Acceptance meaning that we are considered without fault, issues, and a part of, wanted by others or GOD (one of the best things to help gain the trust, admiration and acceptance of others is to make them feel like their a PART of whatever, wanted by and belong to).

It's really strange what we will do sometimes to gain LOVE from others. We've all seen the couple in LOVE where the guy or girl will do REALLY dumb things to become accepted by the other. I'm sure you know of all kind of stories. I think of teenagers today and in my teen days who would dress different or wear their hair a certain way to become accepted or LOVED.

Lets go to the next level. We will do some really dumb and far fetched things to gain acceptance, LOVE from GOD. We play games of all sorts, we think that only those that believe the way we do, those who dress a certain way will or will not make it, if we do this or that, if we DO enough good works, follow the law etc..

While thinking today I realized that GOD SO LOVED, HE GAVE (that's GRACE). We're LOVED to the highest degree by GOD, he gave his most precious so that you and I could be LOVED, accepted, become a part of, feel wanted by and belong to, HIM.

Isn't it amazing about GRACE, we can't earn it, work for it, buy it or do GOOD enough to deserve it. IT'S A GIFT, waiting to be accepted by faith by those who want most to be accepted (how ironic).
It's true "ALL WE NEED IS LOVE" Perfect LOVE!
