Sep 8.97: Light For The Day - "Love & Hate"

Stick with Love .....
Hate is too great a burden to bear.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

-------
1John 4:20 (RSV): 
"If any one says, "I love God," and hates his
brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his
brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom
he has not seen."

--------

Life Application Bible Notes :

It is easy to say we love God when that love doesn't
cost us anything more than weekly attendance at
religious services. But the real test of our love for
God is how we treat the people right in front of us - 
our family members and fellow believers. We cannot
truly love God while neglecting to love those who are
created in his image.
------

1John 4:7 (NIV):
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love
comes from God. Everyone who loves has been
born of God and know God."

Luca 6:27 (RSV): "But I say to you that hear, Love
your enemies, do good to those who hate you"

The messages we send each day 
By what we do and say 
Will echo back to us in kind 
From those who pass our way. 
- Dennis J. De Haan

The price of hating other human beings is
loving oneself less. - Eldridge Cleaver

Always remember, others may hate you. Those who
hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then
you destroy yourself. - Richard M. Nixon
