Why
do you think people respond to evil and cruelty that they witness happening
around them so differently? Have you wondered about it? When it happens to
them, their response is different than when it happens to anyone beside them.
Let me underscore, we all have inbuilt moral characters that differentiates us
from animals. God has created us with a moral framework; the understanding of
right and wrong and then with emotions which is the ability to love people
and feel sympathetic when someone is in pain and suffering.
But then most of the people we deal with today, it could be in the family, friends or in the workplace seem to be so different and apathetic. And quite often we raise this question why people are so inhuman? Human beings are becoming more and more selfish, unapologetic and cruel these days. Lots of philanthropic organization are striving to model the act of kindness which captures people, and You also find videos of individuals demonstrating the acts of kindness in public places which captivates our heart.
Have you come across this caption so often finds in so many places and as portrayal which reads “God is love?” But then it just remains as caption only and has no impact on people. Do you notice from where this caption come from? Well, you find it in the Bible where in one of the books it is written, “The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”. So, we can surmise by saying the one who has the God of love speaks about love and becomes kind in all his/her act.
Any person devoid of God becomes a sophisticated animal. You cannot expect much from such people. Life revolves around them; they do not care to think about others at all. I hear about stories in families too, where sibling rivalry and dumping each other with hatred and envy takes the front seat. Well I am not referring to sibling rivalry when they were kids but mostly when kids grow up and have families of their own, their priority and preferences change.
The
act of love does not vary based on your preference. If you are a person
impacted by this God who says God is love and you allow Him to transform you,
then you become like Him. You become more and more kind, compassionate and
approachable. You find a purpose in your living. Life is full of meaning when
you accept the Savior and make a commitment to follow the God of love to spread
the rays of happiness and love. You will find providence and divine guidance
all your life.
