100:4.6 You cannot truly love your fellows by a mere act of the will. Love is only born of thoroughgoing understanding of your neighbor's motives and sentiments. It is not so important to love all men today as it is that each day you learn to love one more human being. If each day or each week you achieve an understanding of one more of your fellows, and if this is the limit of your ability, then you are certainly socializing and truly spiritualizing your personality. Love is infectious, and when human devotion is intelligent and wise, love is more catching than hate. But only genuine and unselfish love is truly contagious. If each mortal could only become a focus of dynamic affection, this benign virus of love would soon pervade the sentimental emotion-stream of humanity to such an extent that all civilization would be encompassed by love, and that would be the realization of the brotherhood of man.
By Bro. Matte
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Living life based on our emotions is like a roller coaster: a terrifying journey on a closed loop. But living by faith, instead of sight, is a stable forward-moving journey. This is what comes of looking at our circumstances through God's eyes.
When we get up every morning we've got to say, "Lord, maybe today. Maybe You are coming back today." Perhaps today we are going to meet Jesus; perhaps today the Lord is going to come back. Walking by faith is living with expectancy. We need to be sure that when the Lord comes again, He will recognise us as His children - not because of what we have done, but because of what we believe.
God, when I start to live by sight, please pull me off the roller coaster and set me back on the track of faith. Amen.
