God never SAID it would be EASY to love His
scared and cautious, sometimes furious animals.
STILL He calls us to be compassionate and KIND, for He
calls us to REFLECT Him – The Holy, Righteous God. And He'll
help us as He said: Second Corinthians 3:18 >> REFLECT GOD.
4
Jesus never SAID it would be EASY to love His
scared and cautious, sometimes furious PEOPLE.
STILL He de-MANDS, as in First John 4 that we love EVEN
Porcupine People, which DOES reflect Holy God, who loved
us..... YOU before you knew Him, and demands YOUR love for ALL people!
God warns: If you won't love Porcupine People, you don't really love HIM:
We are not to FEAR them but to LOVE them. First John 4: 18 on:
“There is no fear in love; but Perfect Love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar;
[VERSE 21:] And this COMMANDMENT we have from Him:
that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
“And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every
bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea.” > Because God gave permission for humans to eat animals, birds fish, He gave all those – including porcupines – an instinct to FEAR humans.... for their own protection. There's no reason for us to NOT love any creatures who act in fear toward us:
Even un-loveable People. Forgive or be NOT forgiven by God.
