08/24/21 LOVE GOD, LOVE ONE ANOTHER

This is the first time I think I ever heard this song. It is a beautiful song, beautifully done, but the real beauty is in the message. Please read the lyrics. Realize that we can't love God if we don't love each other. Loving others is not simply tolerating them or putting on a smiley face. My guess is that those who are the most choosy about the people they love, are the least lovely down inside.

We cannot keep ourselves in the love of God (as God commands us) if we do not love others. When the Holy Spirit tells you that you don't love others the way you should, don't make excuses or arguments, don't hide or ignore, don't harden your heart and move away from God.

Proverbs 29:1
1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Bow before God, confess your sin, cry out for mercy. Don't quit until your heart is completely purified and filled with perfect love. The next time you gather with believers, it should be a love feast.

LOVING GOD, LOVING EACH OTHER
by Bill and Gloria Gaither
Lyrics

Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends

They pushed back from the table
To listen to His words
His secret plan before He had to go
It's not complicated
Don't need a lot of rules
This is all you'll need to know

Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends

We tend to make it harder
Build steeples out of stone
Fill books with explanations of The Way
But if we'd stop and listen
And break a little bread
We would hear the Master say

Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends

Loving God, loving each other
Making music with my friends
Loving God, loving each other
And the story never ends
And the story never ends
Oh the story never ends
