Love In Deed And In Truth

1 John 3:20 

"For if our heart condemn us, God is greater 

than our heart, and knoweth all things."

     Love to the brethren is a sign that we have been born into the family. We may not like them all, yet we can love them. If we love, we live; and if we live in the deepest sense, we shall love; that is, we shall put others first, and our care for them with the same love that God Cares for us. Love is not measured by the expressions of the lip or the emotion of the heart, but by the extent to which we will do or suffer.

    The believer dares not affirm too much about himself, he is so unworthy and fickle; but God understands us and imputes to us what we would be. Let's look at the double condition of prevailing prayer, "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight," (1 John 3:22). 

    It is also clear  that men can believe, if they will. God is prepared to impart to those who are wishful all that He commands, "And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment," (1 John 3:23). Augustine prayed thus: “Give what thou commandest, and command what thou wilt.” 

Amen!
