Today we are reading 1 John 3. In this chapter we read about loving our brothers and sisters. “For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:11-18 ESV How do you love in deed and truth? What is the most loving deed someone has done for you? Can you help someone experience God’s love in the same way? Can you be the answer to someone’s prayer? In this world filled with pain and suffering, you loving kindness shines like the Sun! God bless you! Pastor Tim
