He Knows Everything
For this is the message you have heard
from the beginning, that we should love one another. We must not be like Cain
who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him?
Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. Do not be
astonished, brothers and sisters, that the world hates you. We know that we
have passed from death to life because we love one another. Whoever does not
love abides in death. All who hate a brother or sister are murderers, and you
know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding
in them. We know love by this, that he laid down his
life for us – and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does
God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or
sister in need and yet refuses help?
Little children, let us love, not in
word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are
from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts
condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
How many times have we seen God send
help on the way? On the flip side, how many times have we felt the urge to help
someone and balked at doing that?
We are God’s hands on earth – created
both to receive help and to give it. Do you know someone who needs help on the
way?
A helping hand
can lighten another’s burden.
