You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other. – John 15:16-17
Love each other. This is one of the most beautiful passages from the ENTIRE Bible, in my opinion. It is pivotal in living a life in Christ, and simply calling yourself a Christian. I'm not saying, and neither is Jesus, that you can't have dislike for people. TRUST ME, I have a long list of dislikes especially at work. The point is, if they truly needed help. Would I be there? Yes. Hopefully the same is for you. The world today is full of love, but the people of the world choose not to use it. We are currently seeing an outbreak of bully-fueled suicides, due to social status, sexual orientation, or appearance. A human being is the product of God, and Jesus has asked us to love them. Every time someone steps off a bridge, hangs themselves, or pulls the trigger. Swallows a pile of pills, or drinks too many. Every time someone feels like there is no hope, because other people made them think that. Every time this happens you are disappointing Jesus, who died for you. I say you are. The person reading this entry. What can you do to stop this type of action? Love one another.
