Title: Love your Neighbours.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:39 KJV

Devotion: Love, this four letter word is so important that its appropriate application leads to peace on earth. Lack of love is the reason behind the evil acts going on in the world today. On the international scene it is lack of love for neighbour that causes war between nations.

 Absence of love leads to mistrust, selfishness, oppression and war. In the home front lack of love leads to mistrust between husband and wife and the children and it causes turmoil. But where love reigns there's peace, joy, happiness and development. There's no oppression and war. 

  No sane person harms him/her self in any way, this is the reason Jesus says (bible is living word) we should love our neighbours like ourselves. If we love there will not be cheating, gossip, anger, slander and war.

  Dear reader, what is your role, my role in this? We have been called to be peacemaker in the world by leading the world to Christ through love and selflessness. We are called to preach Christ in love and demonstrate Christ's love to our neighbours. They see us and study our ways of life and sincerity, therefore let's radiate love to the people around us. Then we would have fulfilled the law. 

 What's your opinion on this? Share it with us. Shalom.
