was reading 1 John today... and i came across a few verses that talks about love.

1 John 2:9-11 ~ says that even though we claim to be in the light, if we hate our brother, we're living in darkness.
I John 3:11-15 ~ speaks of if we do not love, we remain in death. anyone who HATES his brother/sister (friends, family, etc...) is a MURDERER!, and you know that NO murderer has ETERNAL LIFE in Him.

doesn't these 2 passages say enough about LOVE?!?!?! why then are we getting our focus all wrong, and instead of loving our brothers and sisters who have fallen or are living in darkness, we're shunning them or TRYING to make them holy?!?!?
isn't God's first characteristic, LOVE? isn't God himself LOVE? GOD=LOVE
i think we should all know that by now. YES God is a HOLY God, but the 2 most important commandments that He gave us is "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbour as yourself".
sadly, i don't see this. i see people judging people for being less "holy" than themselves. i see people hating each other. i see people shunning those who have left CF or church. WHY? i believe satan is really messing with our mindsets and making us get all our perspectives wrong. if he can remove love from the church, he can do anything. coz we would've lost our MAIN essence of being a Christian.

we really gotta stop focussing on people's weakness and sin, and start loving them as creations of our AWESOME GOD!!! and HATE?!?! it's satanic!! throw it away!!! being judgemental?!?! the bible says, "judge and you will be judged!" -by God himself.

so LOVE!!! it's not that difficult. just see each person as a child of God. we need to respect and care for every single being created by our loving God.
