"Love or Hate?"   God,   You know it has not really changed that much in the last two thousand years. At least not in the things that really matter. You made a statement through Jesus Your Son then. It was not a request, it was not a plea, it was a command. You told us that if we wanted to live well in this world we needed to make a choice. We as believers can choose to do it or not but the results will always be less than satisfactory. We can receive more than enough hate from this world without even trying. I have neighbors all around me that can't get along with their spouses, let alone others around them. But You said that we were to set ourselves apart from the ways of the world and the one most important things we were to do was "Love one another". We need each others, support and strength. Help me today Lord to not allow the little things cause me to not love...   Teach me this lesson I pray, In Jesus name,   Amen     "I demand that you love each other, for you get enough hate from the world "   John 15:17-18
