Love God?
Then love each other

Friends,

In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:10 [NKJV]

The Holy Spirit gives us a clear and timeless directive in this one verse. For each one of us, now is the time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we are living up to this standard:
Are we practicing ... actually doing ... righteousness, or is it just lip service?
Do we love ... actively demonstrate loving behavior ... our brother?

Be purposed to be able to answer both questions in the affirmative. In doing so, we will make this life better. But better yet, we will please our Father.

Be encouraged, Jose
