Word for the Day March 28

"Better a meal of vegetables
where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred." Proverbs 15:17
Where
there is no love, you can be sure, God is not part of it. But where there is love, you will find the Lord, for
God is love. 1 John 3:14 says, "...Anyone who does not love remains in death." 1 John 3:16-18 explains,
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives
for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the
love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
Jesus commanded us to love one another. 1 John 3:23 says, "And this is His command: to believe in the name
of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us." When God's love dwells in your heart, the
love will be poured out to others. 1 John 4:7,8 teaches, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love
comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God,
for God is love." And 1 John 4:19-21 explains genuine love, "We love because He first loved us.
If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother,
whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must
also love his brother."
