Verse of the day

"If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."- 1 John 4:20-21 Today's passage is from the New International Version Hugs, Sandyd

Praise God Sandy! Thank you! You know, this sounds like an easy thing, till I really think about it. Yep - I can love those 'loveable' people - but how about those really annoying folk? Yep - Jesus calls me to love them too! Bonus - He gives us the Holy Spirit to make it so that we CAN love them!!! Thank You Lord Jesus for knowing us and loving us!!! Amen!!! Carolyn

Yep...we call them the chalkboard Christians in our lives...and who knows maybe I am one of them to someone else. So I need to love the not so easy to love Brethren also. I know the Lord has used the "hard to love" in my love to show me I don't have His love the way I need to. He loved me when I was stiny and an enemy of God's....how can I as His child tell Him I can't love so and so? Thanks, and as usualy good verse at right time. Love in Him WHo Is LOVE, Joan M
