Proverbs 10

Reread Proverbs 10:12

1 John 4:7

Colossians 3:13

Oh, might we all our lineage (direct descendant) prove,

         (that our family would be known for)

Give and forgive, do good and love;

By soft endearments (a word expressing love), in kind strife    (disagreement/conflict),

Lightening the load of daily life.

                                             J. Keble

We may, if we choose, make the worst of one another. Every one has his weak points; every one has his faults; we may make the worst of these; we my fix our attention constantly upon these. But we may also make the best of one another. We may forgive, even as we hope to be forgiven. We may put ourselves in the place of others, and ask what we should wish to be done to us, and thought of us, were we in their place. By loving whatever is lovable in those around us, love will flow back from them to us, and life will become a pleasure instead of a pain; and earth will become like heaven; and we shall become not unworthy followers of Him whose name is Love.
