DO THEY KNOW

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

John 13:34 KJV

Peter Raymond Scholtes wrote the beautiful hymn “They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love”.  What about our family, our friends and everyone we see, do they know we are Christians by our love?  We must love one another.  Loving one another is not an option; it is a commandment from Jesus.

If we want people to be kind to us and love us, we had better be kind to them and love them.  It is so true that you get back what you give out.  We need to search our heart and see if we have hurt someone and if we have, we need to ask God to forgive us and ask the person to forgive us.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much You gave Your Son to die on the cross for our sins.  Jesus, thank You for loving us and dying for us.  I pray for everyone who is discouraged and hurting.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have done for me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
