How many of us have forgotten or lost their CHILD somewhere? Yikes! We are human and we will fail one another occasionally.

God is love.. it comes from Him and He shows us how to love (I John 4)
First is to love HIM (Deuteronomy 6:5), Secondly is to love our brother ..

Scriptures that help us put this into our daily walk.. Romans 12:10, Galatians 5:3, Ephesians 4:2, I Thessalonians 3:12, Hebrews 10:24, I Peter 3:8

God uses times when we feel isolated or abandoned. Rather than grow angry at people we must trust that God is working in us during these times. This is when He reveals Himself as our Comforter and the one who Sustains of very life.

Enjoyed the read this AM…
