I know America wasn’t built on love, but God said we must love him and our neighbor to get into his kingdom when we are. Many times I shed tears of joy just thinking about the love my parents taught me as a child. It first had to start at home then spread abroad. Out of all the commandments God commanded, Love was the most important.
Ya see, God put me on this corner for a purpose. Love don’t change. Many pass to and fro and many times love is not shown. Per say: If I pass you and say hello many would like a hello in return. What really puzzles me is when my Christian brothers and sisters going and coming from church have such hateful attitudes. God said a love that’s not shown is worthless. Many think they’re much better than you. I’ve read the Bible all my life and as I recall, we all have the same qualifications to get into God’s Kingdom, and when we get there, there is no such thing as I’m better than you.
If you gave me a million dollars right now, I’ll still come to this corner and sell The Contributor because I love you and love writing and sharing God’s word with you. I’ve got six sisters and one brother in my family and this is something we all do, share God’s word. We were raised that way. It’s natural. On the other hand, we have a life too, but we season our life with God and our neighbor. Maybe you should try it. You might like it.
I was talking to a guy and he told me, “John, there’s something about you. I’m up and down these streets everyday and you’re not like many. Seems as if you have a spirit of love that surrounds you all the time. I see it in your walk. I like that. I wanna hang with you more often.”
It stung me. You’d be surprised who’s watching. I love y’all!
