“If God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” (1 John 4:11)
Our love ought to follow the love of God in one point, namely, in always seeking to produce recon- ciliation. It was to this end that God sent His Son. Has anybody offended you? Seek reconciliation. “Oh, but I am the offended party.” So was God, and He went straight away and sought reconciliation. Brothers and sisters, do the same. “Oh, but I have been insulted.” So was God, all the wrong done towards Him, yet He sent His Son. “Oh, but the person is so unworthy.” So are you, but “God loved you and sent His Son.” Love should flow out of your heart because God has made it to flow into it. Go forth at once and try to make reconciliation, not only between yourself and your friend, but between every man and God. Let that be your objective.
