God has given you and me and all those folks out there the two-sided gift of free will. It is two-sided because we are free to do all the good we want…there is no limit. But on the other hand, no one can make us do that same good. There will be those in your world who are not kind…but you can be kind. There will be those who will not be forgiving…but you can be forgiving. There will be those who won’t be encouraging…but you can be encouraging. There will be those who won’t love…but you can pour out all the love you have. We can’t make other people do those good things. But we have absolute control over what we will say and do. The Apostle John wrote that we should continue to love one another because love comes from God. And anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. All that is good and right and noble springs forth from that love that God has given to us. So don’t take your cues from those out there in the world…don’t follow them. Do the things that speak good of God’s love for us. Change your world by living out God’s love for those around you. You won’t be guaranteed that you’ll be loved back…but you will make God look good. And Jesus said that all the world will know you are my followers by the love you have for one another. Go make God look good today! Here’s our Bible verse…
1 John 4:7 NLT Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
Remember I’m praying for you!
With love, PJ
