God’s way is love. Love for him and love for others. And in 1 john 2, it says “It’s the person who loves brother and sister who dwells in God’s light and doesn’t block the light from others.” (MSG) I hadn’t thought about this heaps from this angle before. If we live in the light, and in love, obviously it’s good for us, our lives and relationships and everything. But what it says in 1 john is that if we don’t do that, we block the light from other people! Crazy thought! If we can’t learn to be people who live in love, and really, genuinely love and care for each other, then we block the light of God from reaching people! This is such a huge thing, and the light of God, people coming to know how much God loves them and his purpose for their life is why we’re on the planet, so if we’re blocking that by not loving, then what are we doing here?
