Love ‘don’t come easy’ ... we need the Spirit

Morning: Psalm 118; Isaiah 11:1-9; I Corinthians 2:1-13

Evening: Psalm 145; John 14:21-29

The Beatles released ‘All you need is Love’ in 1967. In 1970, they split up! In 1971, Ringo wrote the line, “Use a little love and we will make it work out better”, in his new song, entitled: ‘It don’t come easy’! Ringo didn’t want to sing about God, but he let George Harrison sing in the song about Krishna (the supreme God in Hinduism); George believed his ‘Sweet Lord’ was the source of Love. In Jesus’s teaching, we need Love, yes, and Love comes not from our own efforts, but from beyond ourselves, from being open to the Spirit.
