The one who says he is in the light but hates his brother or sister is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother or sister remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. (1 John 2:9-10)
I think it’s often easy for us to skip over these verses because we think to ourselves, “No problem. I don’t hate anyone.”
Maybe we don’t hate them.
But how often do we judge them?
Or how often do we fail to truly forgive them?
I was thinking of four people today. I don’t hate them, but whenever I think about them, I tend to stumble around a lot in my heart. Which probably means I don’t love them as I should.
So this morning, I’ve been praying that God would get my heart right towards them.
How about you? Is there anyone that God is putting on your heart right now?
