When I was growing up it was not uncommon for us four boys to disagree among ourselves over simple things. It was a common thing for us to stand shoulder to shoulder when someone outside wanted to pick on any one of us. There are just two years between each of us so the bond between us has always been strong. We now are adults and there may still be some things we may not totally agree on, but, we have also walked through many tough times in different ones lives together and knew we had each others support. The importance of brotherly love extends well beyond the walls of any one brother’s house. Brotherly love is what reveals who we are. Jesus went so far as to say that the world would know who we (Christians) are by our love for one another. Paul tells us to make sure brotherly love and care for one another stays strong. (Hebrews 13:1-2 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.) As parents, you know what a delight it is when you see your children taking care of one another. God loves to see His children loving and caring for each other. God has made love for one another the measuring stick by which the world will determine if our relationship with God is genuine. Don’t just say the words, let your actions toward one another tell the world. I love you. Pastor Don
