Steve Winwood: Higher Love
Higher
Love

Think
about it, there must be a higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, and I'll look inside mine
Things
look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk the line and try to see
Falling behind in what could be, oh
Bring
me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Romans 1:19-20 TPT
In reality, the truth of God is known instinctively, for
God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. Opposition to truth
cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the
world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as
his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes
easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So
then, this leaves everyone without excuse.
1 John 4:14-21 TPT
14Moreover, we have seen with our own eyes and can
testify to the truth that Father God has sent his Son to be the Savior of the
world. 15Those who give thanks that
Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them. 16We have come into
an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us.
God is love! Those
who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them. 17By
living in God, love has been brought to
its full expression in us so that we may
fearlessly face the day of judgment,
because all that Jesus now is, so
are we in this world. 18Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to
punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our
hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection. 19Our love
for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.
20Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward
another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother
or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see?
21For he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also demonstrate
love to others.
These
lyrics couldn’t be closer to the truth:
The
evidence of God’s existence has been placed in everyone’s heart. Yes, without God, without Him, His love, His
grace, His mercy, His everything, life is wasted time which is what we learn in
Ecclesiastes! Let’s look inside our
hearts! Everything in and on the earth screams His existence. Of course, there is a higher love. God is love and without Him life is
nothing.
Seek, find, know and live this Higher love every day….if
others see it in you, then they’ll be able to find it too.
