Day 136

Tonight I read an amazing chapter in 1 John, chapter 4. It was all about love. I thought about going back and counting how many times the word love is said in this chapter, but decided not to. But it is a lot.

There were a couple verses that I really loved.

4. Ye are of God, little children; and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I love that verse! We are children of God. Our Father created this world we live in. If we can remember this divine inheritance we have, and remember that we already have godly characteristics within us, the world should not affect us. If we can continue to have the insight of knowing that we are children of God.

20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother ,he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

I really like that verse too. We are hypocrites if we say we love our Heavenly Father but are holding grudges against people in our lives. How can we love like God if we don't love everyone?

I feel very uplifted after reading that chapter. It really did fill me with God's love, and I hope to keep that and let it grow, and to remember to love all men just like my Heavenly Father does.
