Tear Apart!

 My Dad used to cry when my brother and I fought. He would always say "you guys are brothers, why are you fighting each other?" We're like, "because that's what brothers do." "We fight, punch each other and then make up." The vicious cycle continued for many, many years. Until one day we stopped. We grew up and matured. We get along famously now.

I can't imagine how God feels when He sees His children fighting and tearing each other apart. All the hatred and dividing. He wants us to love one another and get along with each other.

1 Corinthians 1:10 Amplified Bible

10 But I urge you, believers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in full agreement in what you say, and that there be no divisions or factions among you, but that you be perfectly united in your way of thinking and in your judgment.

How did this world get so ugly and tearing people apart? It started with the rejection of Jesus & His love for us.

1 John 4:16 Living Bible

16 We know how much God loves us because we have felt his love and because we believe him when he tells us that he loves us dearly. God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him.

God wants us love one another. Lift each other up and not to tear each other down. I myself always seek to encourage others. Not that I am greater than anyone else. It just seems that there already is so much negativity in the world. I want to pass along positivity. I want to show Jesus and his love to others. Sometimes I excel, other times I fall flat on my face. But Jesus is always there to pick me up and get me going again.

John 13:34 Living Bible

34 “And so I am giving a new commandment to you now—love each other just as much as I love you.

I encourage you tonight. Be vessels of positivity. Let Jesus shine through you to others. Let His love light reflect off of you. Lift each other up. To many people out there are ready to tear you down.

God bless.
