When all else Fails ...

When all else fails and we can not seem to find the way in our faith, the Apostle John tells us that love is the measure. No matter how active one might be in the church, famous or involved, if we do not love the underserved, the unlovable and the broken among us, we have missed the mark. Here is how John puts it, "God Is love . . . "

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. . .

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. . .

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." 1 John 4:7-16
