“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow”
When Christ returns, he will gather all believers, those who have died and those who are alive, into one united family under his rule. All believers from all times, will be with Christ in his kingdom. This includes . . . . . .
the unattractive
the orphan
the sick
the hateful
the enemy
the murderer
the poor
the unclothed
the widow and widower
the unclean
the homeless
the prisoner
the diseased
the spiteful
the oppressor
the sinner
the opponent
the dictator
It seems to me that that one of the most important things we can do with this brief life we have on earth is to actively engage in loving others, especially the ones we find most difficult to love. Why? Because a demand of the New Creation is that each of us must able to so as one among God’s new humanity. Today is our preparation for eternity.
