Love and witness great things!

WORD 2day: Thursday after Christmas Octave

January 5, 2023: 1 John 3:11-21; John 1:43-51

Belonging to love or belonging to evil... that is the contrast brought out in the Word today. The opposite of love, is cited as evil. Anything opposed to love, not merely a literal hatred, but anything opposed to love is evil. Whatever we choose, against love, or sidelining love, or pushing love to a secondary plane, is evil and will not truly be humanising. That is the insight today from the Word.

There are any number of opportunities and circumstances that will beckon us to belong to evil - with jealousy, treachery, obsession about wealth, craving for power, limitless greed and so on. If we have to choose to belong to love, we have to wrestle with an entire system, the social bias, the culture of death, the urge to dominate and so on. These days we are paying tribute to a great person who himself engaged is such a wrestling and the invited the entire people of God, in this will to wrestle for the Good. 

Belonging to love is to belong to God, because God is love. Belonging to love is a choice we make categorically for love. Belonging to love is refraining from choosing anything that is against love! The Lord says today: you will see great things happen, you will witness extraordinary things if only you belong to the Lord, if only you belong to love!
