Give love a chance

 “No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:12

Where there is love, there is God. Where there is no love, satan has conquered. Perfect love casts out fear, so love has the power to send evil away. If we walk in love, then we have conquered the enemy. If we give love a chance, we have given God a chance. To give love a chance is to do to others what you expect them to do to you (Mt 7:12), and to love others as you do yourself (Mk 12:31). The implication of this is that you should be your brother’s keeper and help those in need. You should not originate or distribute lies. You should not lie and say that you need help when you have enough, and you should not spread lies about others.

“If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?” James 2:15-16

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Cor 13:13 (NIV)

Someone wrote, “There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer: no disease that love will not heal: no door that enough love will not open...It makes no difference how deep set the trouble: how hopeless the outlook: how muddled the tangle: how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.

Beloved, if we love together, we conquer together; God is Love.
