"This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands."
There are times when I cannot help but shake my head in wonder as I witness the absolute disregard of our Father's will to love God and others; by those who would call themselves Christian. I understand that our human nature is difficult at times. There are many times that we slip and we aren't even really aware we're slipping until we are caught. But, those who love the Lord will at least attempt to not be stealing or lying or in any way disrespecting their brothers and sisters in Christ.
We are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts and souls and minds. We show this love by loving and respecting all of His children. (Luke 10:27)
The world throws temptation after temptation at us. The world would tell us we have to look out for ourselves first. "Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God." (1 John 5:5)
May God bless us with faith and a desire to do His will; loving and respecting Him and all of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
God's Peace - Pr. J
