Let brotherly love continue

Let brotherly love continue. – Hebrews 13v1

The word of God is amazing in its simplicity. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest.

What do we do when someone is a jerk? Let brotherly love continue. What do we do when we can’t seem to reconcile a difference? Let brotherly love continue. What do we do when feelings and animosity arise? Let brotherly love continue.

We try all kinds of reasoning, rationale, and excuses in these situations. We want to make it complicated, but the word of God takes away those barriers. In these situations the answer is simple – choose to let brotherly love continue.

Difficulties are going to arise. Things are going to go badly. We are going to face difficulties with other Christians. But we have a choice. We can let the flesh rule and react by its directions or we can do the right thing – let brotherly love continue no matter what.
