APPRECIATE ONE ANOTHER
Scriptural Reading: ‘If a man say, I
love God, and hateth his brother, he is liar: for he that loveth not his
brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?’. 1John 4:20.
This scripture reveals a principle in God’s word
which let us know that if you can love your brother or sister whom you see,
then you can love God. But if you cannot love your brother, it means you cannot
love God whom you don’t see.
God has honoured you by making you His child and
bringing you into fellowship with him. You must reciprocate this gesture by
honouring Him in the way you deal with others. Always remember that He resides
inside each and every one of His children. Therefore, the kind of relationship
you have with your brother or sister in the Lord is very important, as you are
actually relating with God through them. According to Bible, we did not do
anything to deserve salvation, for salvation is a gift from God (Ephesians
2:8). When you understand this truth, you will no longer demean or speak evil
of anyone. When you recognize that you are who you are only by grace of God,
you will never condemn anyone. A Christian has no right to condemn another
Christian, for the Bible says, ‘There is therefore now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 8:1). We only have right to bless
and inspire one another. Even if you were hurt by a brother or sister (members)
in the Lord or any other person, it is not your place to avenge their wrongdoing.
Prayer: Father, empower me to love and appreciate others.
