1) His love in us produces unselfishness. Matthew 22:37 - “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” This love is not halfhearted, does not hold back, not wishy-washy.
2) This love makes us kind. Ephesians 4:32 - “Be ye kind one to another.”
3) This love makes us patient. Ephesians 4:31 - “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.”
4) This love makes us forgive. Matthew 6:15 – “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
5) This love gives us a joyful spirit. Psalm 100:2 – says that we are to serve the Lord with gladness. God's love gives us a sense of satisfaction nothing else can.
6) This love gives us peace. Psalm 119:165 - “Great peace have they which have thy law; and nothing shall offend them.” Read Psalm 23 - as it has peace that pass- eth all understanding.

We shall do much in the years to come. But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in a princely sum, But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
We shall speak the words of love and cheer, But what did we speak today?
We shall be so kind in the afterwhile, But what have we been today?
We shall bring each lonely life a smile, But what have we brought today?
We shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls of earth, But whom have we fed today?
We shall reap such joys in the by and by, But what have we sown today?
It seems like every time you check the news these days there is a catastrophe of some kind that has taken place, often some immoral or violent activity. Pundits are quick to offer their brilliant ideas on how to solve the problems: “Make more laws,” “Do things our way.” But guess what? None of these things (or other ideas they offer) will fix the problem!
The problem (notice the singular use of this word, rather than plural) we are facing as a nation is the direct result of an expulsion of God from our land! When faith in God is mocked and evolution is praised, catastrophe will follow. When the Bible is discarded and wokeism rules catastrophe will follow. When Jesus Christ is hated and the flaunting sinner is revered, catastrophe will follow.
The simple answer to the problems around us is to point people to God, to teach the Bible and to exalt Jesus Christ! Any effort short of that will not work! “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov. 14:34).
Almost everyone wants to keep something which he prizes very much. Four “keeps” which are jewels from a Treasure Chest:
1) Keep the commands of the Lord (Lev. 22:31).
2) Keep thyself in the love of God (Jude 21).
3) Keep thy lips from speaking guile (Ps. 34:13).
4) Keep thy feet from the way of evil (Ps.. 119:101).
