We are living in a world where everyone wants to love and be loved. The statement “I love you” is used constantly. However, our behaviors have nothing to do with love. We all know that love is not an emotion. It is an active verb. Whenever we see the verb love, an action must be followed to support it. If we go deeper, Love should not be used only for a certain group of people, but everyone, no matter who they are. The first action that shows love is found in Romans 8:18, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”. Love requires harmony and peace. Are you a peacemaker or a troublemaker? Are you doing all you can to keep and remain at peace with everyone, including those who don’t like you? If you want show love today, go and make peace with your enemies. It doesn’t say, go and be best friends with everyone. But, you should be at peace with everyone. To be continued. Have a blessed day.
