As God’s people, we are one family. I always say that to know you is to love you, and as far as I’m concerned, anyone who does not love you does not know you, for if they knew you, they would love you. So if anyone doesn’t love you, forgive them for their short sightedness.
The Bible says, “If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20 Amp). How can you say you love God when you don’t even love your brother? It’s not possible! God lives in him, and if you cannot love the person who you see and in whom God lives, it’s impossible for you to love the God that you have not seen.
No honest person will deny that they want to be loved and that they like it when they are loved. But how many are willing to show the same love they crave so much? If you show love, you will receive love. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. If you sow love in abundance, you will receive love in abundance, but if you sow love sparingly you will receive it sparingly. I tell you, when you sow love in abundance, you wouldn’t receive love from those to whom you expressed love only, but also from people you never knew before. Make a quality decision to walk in love and to sow seeds of love in the lives of all that you come in contact with today.
