Steve Winwood: Higher Love

 

Higher Love

Steve Winwood

 

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: 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

            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.
