Good morning, Friends,

1 John 4:20 LSB - [20] If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

This verse cuts deep. It’s easy to talk big about loving God, but the real proof shows up in how we treat people, our family, our neighbors, even the people who get on our nerves. Anybody can raise their hands in church or say the right words, but if we’re holding grudges, throwing shade, or carrying hate in our hearts, we’re not living the love we claim. 

God’s saying 🗣️: don’t just talk about love—walk it out. And here’s the good news: when we choose to love people, even the hard-to-love ones, it shows that God is really working in us. Love is the evidence.

So today, check your heart💚, who do you need to forgive, who do you need to show kindness to? Loving them isn’t just about them, it’s your way of showing God you mean what you say‼️

Signing out! ✌🏾 

You know what time ⏰ it is!
