Would you believe me if I told you the word "Love" appears in the bible over 500 times? There's over 111 bible verses about love. Why is this topic mentioned so much? Could it be because it is a very important topic? John 3:16 "For God so Loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life". I think 1 John 4:8 answers that, God IS Love.

When we show Love to one another, we are showing the true nature of God. This may seem like an easy concept until you experience that "Sunday driver" in the middle of rush hour traffic. Are we patient kind and loving then? Or are we saying unkind remarks and yelling possibly? Thank God the only one who is perfect is Him. I have failed in this area many times. But I learn from my faults, and I strive to be better. To grow and be a reflection of the Lord.
I think many of the issues we are seeing around the world is, yes a lack of Jesus, but a lack of love. A lack of intact families. A lack of kindness and love for one another. I see too much hate and violence. We need the warriors of God to awaken. We are transitioning to a place of offense from defense. The days of defending ourselves is over. We cannot defend ourselves from this violence with simply remaining quiet.
I can't help but ponder over Ezekiel 7:25 "When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none." This by no means indicates violence. Quite the opposite. Out of a place of Love, we need to watch each other's backs, continue to speak truth, avoid violence and double down. We will not let the enemy have our children. Our children will be bought for. He has already claimed the Victory. We have to walk in it and continue to not waiver.
