God Commands Us To Love One Another

God Commands Us To  “Love One Another!”

In the body of Christ…  
One of Satan’s “clever tricks.”
Is to “choose” another to form
 their own “cliques.”

People “choosing” who they believe
is their sister or brother…
Neglecting the great command…  
“Love one another!”

A stranger whom comes to church… 
 Has a hard time to find…
Someone who’ll give him just some of their time!

This person could be really in need 
and possibly poor.
But after the service… He “hurries”
 out the exit door…

Have we forgotten what being Christ’ child is?
We need to be HIS example in the way we live!

Maybe it’s time that the body of Christ
 break out of it’s “shell.”
And really be concerned about those 
on their way to hell!

If it’s people just like you whom 
you seem to be “choosing.”
It’s you that will fall short of…   
God’s love and are losing!

It’s time that the body of Christ
 love everyone the same…
Remembering that it was for every 
person our savior came!
