“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” John 13:34
We live in a fallen world
among fallen people.
There is evil.
And it comes in every color.
When evil rises to kill and destroy
because it will,
Don’t paint everyone
in that category or system
as evil.
That’s what the enemy of our souls
wants you to think.
It creates division.
That’s his plan.
Hate exists.
And it acts.
But, in response, we must
love harder
(not hate louder).
Keep loving.
Because when we respond to hate
with more hate
we are divided
and evil wins.
How can we love harder?
Be a light.
Be salt.
Words won’t matter—
no one’s listening right now
(they’re too busy shouting).
Love like Jesus loved.
Serve like Jesus served.
Forgive like Jesus forgave.
Jesus is the only Answer
to hate—
the only Healer
of division.
“Lord, help me hold my tongue and take action to love harder in this time of so much hate.”
For His Glory
