  Evil Thrives in the Absence of Love

Why is the world we live in filled with crime stories, divorce, domestic abuse, illicit sex, infidelity, terrorism, killings, racism, human trafficking, kidnappings, fraud, oppression, theft, greed, rape,

covetousness and other evils you can think of? Do we need good governance or a new order to solve all these problems?
The conclusion of the matter is that the absence of love brings evil.

Where there is no love, evil thrives. When there is no love, it is easy for the devil to sow seeds of hatred, suspicion, ill feelings, bitterness, enmity and discord. Watch your heart, which seed do you allow to germinate in it?

You need love to make your life better and we need love to make our world better. If everyone of us can love each other as ourselves, the world will be in a much better place.

It is not a new religion, political party or religious movement we need; all that we need is to allow love buy a permanent place in our lives as individuals.
For as long as we spread hate, evil will never cease to thrive in the society and in the family. Let men and women love God so that they can love their neighbours as
themselves.
It is when you love God that you can express His love and anywhere the love of God dwells, darkness, evil or any form of wickedness can never thrive in such a place.

• Is love present in my heart?

                         Truth#13
                    Love is a Person
  
Did you know that?

Love is an expression of who you are to others around you. If what is inside of you is evil, you cannot fake good for too long before the evil will manifest in you. The person of God is love (1 John 4:8).
When what is on your inside is wicked, the love you would express will be wicked. Only a wicked man or woman will tolerate extramarital affair on purpose or for any reason.
Naturally, you do not have the capacity to love unless God reproduce His likeness in you through Christ.
When you love God and you have Him dwelling in you, it would be very
easy for you to express the person of God which is love.
You are not naturally wired to love like God, other forms of love can easily find expression in you but True love, the God-kind can only be expressed when the Holy Spirit has shed the love of God abroad your heart.
Who sits upon the throne of your life: God or the devil? You can quickly echo God but if someone steps on your toe now, what will be your outward and inward expression?
But when God lives in you, no matter the person or situation, you will easily express love from a pure heart. And this goes on with the saying that you cannot give what you do not have. It is natural or common to like a person but it is divine to express True Love.
