Dear chandraclaws. God is Love and Jesus gave us two Commandments. ( Matthew 22: 35-40
The first and great Commandment is: "Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like it:
love thy neighbour as thyself." In verse 40 we are told: On these two Commandments hang all the Law and all the Prophets. God wants our love, freely given and NO conditions made. We start with asking God for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour. ( Matthew 7: 7-10) We keep asking for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour. ( neighbour is all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends)
The Bible tells us: " Repent and be Born Again," we change from being selfish and unloving to love and care, be kind and always use loving and kind words. Love is very catching, and we will find that people will treat us, as we treat people, and gradually we will change to loving and caring. We might stumble and forget at times, but then we ask God to forgive us, and carry on be loving and kind. We will be surprised what love can do.
Hate and unkind behaviour starts with the evil one and his followers, and we all know that Satan and his kind will flee from all love and kindness and forgiving. The world will not hate us if we are kind and loving, on the contrary the world at large will join us. Love and forgiveness will change this imperfect world into a much better world, we will enjoy life, as God wants us to live it. I say this with love, chandraclaws. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.
