Not A Suggestion

From: Billy Graham Devotionals

John 15:12 "This is My commandment: love one another as I have loved you."

Here is the answer to the world’s problems today—"You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, soul, mind and strength." and "Love your neighbor as yourself." That teaching is just as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. 

In fact it is the only way in which the problems of the world today can be solved, whether the problems are those of individuals or of nations. If we love God with all our heart, we will have a capacity to love our neighbors. 

True love will find an outlet in service—not merely in singing hymns, attending church, or even in praying—but in trying our utmost to demonstrate our love, by obeying the will of our heavenly Father. By the way, it was not a suggestion!
