Common place

John 13:34-35                        New English Translation

34 “I give you a new commandment—to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”

 

Common place

 

Do not accept to lightly any thought or feeling

For doing that will provoke Satan to harden you

You’ve got to stay focused on love towards man

Don’t isolate self from the things you ought to do

 

Be delicate and sensitive to all the needs in view

Just be tenderhearted and sympathetic towards others

This will simply show the world who is your master

Or much better than that it shows, who is your Father

 

A spirit, that’s not large enough to embrace all children

Is a poisonous spirit residing in some other time and space?

Is not that what blindness is, to the concept of the body?

Well the body, the church I mean, it seems so commonplace
