We were created by GOD! None of us are exactly the same. Each of us is loved by OUR MAKER and given special characteristics for our journey on this earth. John, "the apostle of love" wrote in his gospel these words of JESUS...
John 13:34-35
“A new
command I give you;
LOVE one
another.
As I have
loved you,
So you
must LOVE one another.
By this
everyone will know
that you
are my disciples,
if you LOVE
one another.”
How many people do you interact with on a daily basis? At home? At work? At school? In your church family? At the store? On the highway?
