—1 John 4:20-5:5
by: Sheri Rood.
On a visit to Israel in 2007, my husband Phil and I were immersed in the life-giving water of the Jordan River. The Jordan River provides drinking water and irrigation for the land of Israel, but it reaches a dead end at the Dead Sea. Water flows in but not out. You can float in it but the life has gone out of it. When the love of Jesus flows into our hearts it must flow out to others and result in obedience to God. Hatred pollutes love and hoarding love causes it to die. Let us pass on God’s love every day to those in our homes, communities, and body of believers.
