<\/a>For in an instant, everything could change.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I, along with many of my friends, are mourning the loss of a lovely prayer warrior this morning. She is with Jesus, but how we will miss her.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I learned much in the short time I knew this lovely lady\u00a0and her smile, her laughter, her wisdom, her prayer life, her love for Jesus will remain with me for many years to come.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today as we consider our relationship with Jesus, I pray that each of us comes to the understanding that we need Jesus more than anything in this world. And once we know it in our heart, that we will share the love of Jesus with those we know and meet. My dear friend\u00a0was a great example of this.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople Need the Lord\u201d \u2013 Monday Musical Musings<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPeople Need the Lord\u201d is a song made popular by Steve Green in the early 90\u2019s. This melody stirs up memories and emotions within me each time I hear it. Yes, it takes me back to those moments in time when I first heard this tune, but it also is a reminder that every person on this planet needs God more than anything else this world has to offer\u2026and how I miss opportunities to share His love with them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve been touched by God\u2019s Spirit to share His message with others through the years. Whether it was in my college dorm room or hearing the presentation of a service trip opportunity to SE Asia, God has shown me what to do. To share with others what meaning God can bring to their lives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In my heart I knew and know that only the Lord can fill the void in our lives. God created us to desire Him and Him alone. King David knew this as well. Take a look at his words. \u201cO God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.\u201d <\/em>(Psalm 63:1 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When we are in a dry and weary land, God invites us to come to the water. \u201cCome, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters, and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.\u201d<\/em> (Isaiah 55:1-3 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jesus spoke to this in John 6 when He declared \u201cI am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.\u201d <\/em>(John 6:35 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Regardless of what we are going through, we need the Lord. Every person we pass by today needs the Lord. It\u2019s up to you and me to share this message with them. Only the Lord can satisfy all that they long for. Are you willing to share what you know to be true?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The lyrics to \u201cPeople Need the Lord\u201d are below. I pray that you will be touched and that you will realize that every person, everywhere needs the Lord.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPeople Need the Lord\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everyday they pass me by, On they go through private pain, People need the Lord, people need the Lord. We are called to take His light Through His love our hearts can feel People need the Lord, people need the Lord <\/p>\n I love this version of this song. Steve Green and Song Jung Mi sing a duet. It doesn\u2019t matter what the language; the message is still the same. People need the Lord!

\nI can see it in their eyes.
\nEmpty people filled with care,
\nHeaded who knows where?<\/p>\n
\nLiving fear to fear.
\nLaughter hides their silent cries,
\nOnly Jesus hears.<\/p>\n
\nAt the end of broken dreams, He’s the open door.
\nPeople need the Lord, people need the Lord.
\nWhen will we realize, people need the Lord?<\/p>\n
\nTo a world where wrong seems right.
\nWhat could be too great a cost
\nFor sharing Life with one who’s lost?<\/p>\n
\nAll the grief they bear.
\nThey must hear the Words of Life
\nOnly we can share.<\/p>\n
\nAt the end of broken dreams, He’s the open door.
\nPeople need the Lord, people need the Lord.
\nWhen will we realize that we must give our lives,
\nFor people need the Lord.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
