Have you ever been reading scripture and thought, “this is interesting but it doesn’t really apply to me”? This is one of the lies we tell ourselves when the topic makes us uncomfortable.
Consider the following:
This I command you, that you love one another. John 15:17 (NASB)
Does it say:
- Love those who are easy to love?
- Love those who are like you?
- Love those who love you?
No, it commands us to “love one another“.
God is calling us to be creative in the ways we demonstrate His love to one another in light of “social distancing”.
Love one another 🙍♂️🙍♀️
Amen! Yes it is very challenging at times for sure!

I had the same discussion with myself the last time I read Heb 12:14. I laughed so loudly. I was like meeeeeen what does the bible even mean!!is it possible to live at peace with all men? Does God really want us to see His Kingdom really!!!..But at the end of the day we know our God, nothing is impossible when you are in Him. Great blog today

This is so true Barb. We need to love one another and ask God to open up our heart to understand how to do that best.

I have tried non denominational churches but I always seem to go back to Catholicism, I used to be part of the Catholic Charismatic renewal. I just got transportation again so I am looking forward to going back to church.
