The one drug that can heal this sick world

If we're honest, we'd agree our world is broken and sick...and needs some healing.

Everywhere you look... Wherever you turn... In the news... In our neighbourhoods... In the pages of newspapers... On TV... On social media.... At our churches... At the office... You find evidence of this.

Our world is so sick that hate has become the norm, our actions exude so much hate and bitterness.

Our world is so sick that only one drug can heal it...the love tablet...a few doses would do.

A few doses of the love tablet would make us unconditional and sacrificial givers...giving without expecting in return...giving for the sake of helping...

A few doses of the love tablet would make us embrace people who are not like us...those who are seemingly "beneath" us...and love them as they deserve...

A few doses of the love tablet would make us think of self less and others first...

A few doses of the love tablet would make the government propose and implement developmental policies and programmes that'll bridge the gulp between the haves and haves not...

A few doses of the love tablet would make our marriages blissful...ending the alarming spate of divorce due to "irreconcilable differences" (whatever that means!)...

A few doses of the love tablet would ensure no child becomes a victim of abuse or assault of any sort...be it sexual, psychological, physical...none whatsoever!
Rather, our children (the future) would grow in love and grace, with a correct sense of self worth...

A few doses of the love tablet would help us build a world where righteousness, justice and fairness are the foundation, with truth and equity as pillars...

A few doses of the love tablet would make our daddies strengths that hold us up and shoulders we lean on; not voices that strike dread and terror into our hearts nor weights that wreck us...

A few doses of the love tablet would make us less judgmental and condemning of others...we would not jump to quick conclusions and write others off...rather we would see the best in them...we would see them as God sees them...

A few doses of the love tablet would make our teachers not take advantage of their pupils or students; and instead devote their time, energy and every resource to see them fulfil purpose...

A few doses of the love tablet would help us overcome unforgiveness and its attendant effects (bitterness and hate). We would easily choose forgiveness.

Daily doses of the love tablet is God's prescription for our world...have you taken yours today? Do you love God and love others?

Love should guide our actions...
Love should be the inspiration for our thoughts...
Love should be our mindset...
Our motives and desires should be defined by love.

Without love, there is no grace...no mercy...no compassion. And without these, what is left of humanity?

If we can daily take some doses of the love tablet by resolving to let love lead in all we do; then ailing minds, broken hearts and shattered dreams would begin to find some life; and our sick world would be on the road to recovery.
The love tablet cures all ailments, repairs every tear and heals all hurts in our hearts.

One prayer you should consider is asking God for a heart like His so that love becomes your nature in deed. It's been my prayer for a while now and He's enlarging my love capacity; why not make it yours, too?
