This new year, let us fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2). When we see through His eyes, we look at people with love no matter how sinful. God is love hence we must exude love in our being if we are truly His disciples. For He said:
John 13:34-35
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Humility is love. Self-righteousness is destructive of such kind of love as it condemns people rather than uplifts. Such was the fall of Satan. It was his pride that condemned him to the pits. He was created all good but because of self-righteousness, he was unwilling to subject himself into serving/loving humankind.
Let me quote an excerpt from thewarningsecondcoming (http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/my-plans-to-save-the-whole-world-are-in-place-and-not-one-soul-will-i-let-go-of-easily/):
>>>Hatred can never come from God. Hatred comes from the devil. He who hates emulates the traits associated with Satan. Because he imitates Satan, man will often camouflage hatred with a sweet and cunning façade. Very often he who hates another will say that they are only speaking out of love when they cause damage to others, in order to confuse them. The man who hates, just like Satan, will be careful not to reveal his hatred. Many will say that they are acting in good faith because of the need for honesty. Yet, any act of hatred can never bring good fruits, for like rotting flesh it will bring decay and then death of the soul.<<<
This 2014, may we be faithful disciples of the Loving God. May we proclaim to the whole world that this year is THE YEAR OF THE LORD for every year is His grace. May we bring Him glory by being His instruments of faith, hope, love...and PEACE.
