What The World Needs Now Is Love, 'you must love one another'

"A new command I give you:
'Love one another.
As I have loved you,
so you must love one another.' "
[John 13:34]
.
Even those who are hard to love?
Or those people we don't want to like?
Or people who are mean to us?
Or those who are terribly different from us?
.
My answer to that?
If we are to obey God, I think we must love these too!
For sure the Bible doesn't have any exceptions that I can find.
For me, I am still in the learning process of loving.

Verse 35 follows:
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another."

Song: What The World Needs Now Is Love Lyrics









What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It*s the only thing that there*s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone.

Lord we don*t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
it*s the only thing that theres just too little of,
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another meadow,
there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
its the only thing that theres just too little of.
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.

what the world (whoa whoa) needs now,
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world ( oh oh) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love

.

Note: The word LOVE appears 214 times in my New King James New Testament [Bible] . I don't know the proportions between God's love for us and the love we are supposed to be doing. I would have to check and tally all those 214 entries, my computer isn't smart enough for that.
