Love one another

Dear fellow Americans and people of the world, all of this turmoil that we are now experiencing is causing us to be like a large out-of-control bus speeding down a steep hill toward a lake, and if it is not stopped we will soon be in the lake, killing us all.

I believe the only way this chaos can be stopped is for all of us to start following the teachings of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. He tells us in the Bible, in Luke 6:27-31: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; … Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.” (NASB). Pray for President Trump and our other government officials that they would set the example, showing all of us how to love and respect each other. I’m afraid if we can’t get the present turmoil under control, that big bus that we are all on will be in the lake and we will all be in more trouble than we are in now.

Jesus told His disciples in John 13:35, “By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” We all need to do that.
