057 – The solution is simple. We need to love each other.

Did you get caught up in the divisiveness in the United States before, during, and after the Presidential election last week? There were a lot of very strong emotions expressed from all quarters.

But strong emotions never really solve the problems we face as a country. They only make things worse.

In this week's episode, I talk about getting back to the simple solution of learning to love each other. But it has to be more than human love. That is never enough.

"A new commandment I give unto you"

Jesus tells us to love each other the way he loves us. Think about that for just a minute...or maybe years!

Can you love someone from the opposite political party the way Jesus loves you? It may seem impossible at first, but you can do it. God has already put that love in your heart. You just have to use it.

Love your enemies

This is hard to do, but Jesus knew you could do it or he wouldn't have told us to do it. No one can do it for you. So go ahead, give it a try. If you're a Republican, love all those Democrats. If you're a Democrat, love all those Republicans.

We are all brothers and sisters! It's okay to disagree, but we can do it with love. 

If you say you love God, but hate your brother, John says you are a liar. Whoa! It's time to start loving.

If you listen to the end, I give you a little homework assignment that will make a big difference in your life. Enjoy!

Blessings to you and lots of love,
James
