Walking in love with believers is a requirement for living a holy life. It is easy to say you love others, but it’s more difficult to demonstrate it. Once a lady went to a restaurant that had some tables near the sidewalk. As she was sipping her tea, she noticed a very lovely fragrance in the air. When the waitress came by she asked her where the aroma was coming from. She was told that the workers at the perfume factory had just left for the day, and were passing the restaurant. Their clothes were saturated with the perfume odors, and the wind blew the scent their way. Brotherly love will radiate from you, or the opposite will be evident as well. You’re the one that makes the choice by what you feed into your spirit, because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Be humble - don’t center your life on you! Be first God-centered, then others-centered. Be gentle - that’s power under God’s control - strength channeled. When things get out of control, you don’t.
