Day 27

2 of the most difficult things to get straight in life are love and God. More often than not, the mess people make of their lives can be traced to failure of stupidity or meanness in one or both of these areas. Although in our culture, it seems like "love" and "God" are separate, in the Hebrew culture and teachings of Jesus and Apostles, these 2 went hand-in-hand. They state that if we want to deal with God the right way, we have to learn to love the right way. And if we want to love the right way, we need to learn to love God the right way.

John shares how this works throughout the book of 1 John. He realizes that many people want to make up their own ideas of God and love.

As you read today, notice what John is saying about the connection of God and love and how they are more connected than we think.
