Created to Love

TODAY’S READING: 1 John 3:11–24

This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another -1 John 3:11

After leading a prayer vigil in front of Albany City Hall in 1962, Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. spent more than two weeks in jail. While enduring this unjust treatment, he penned sermons about loving enemies that would later become part of his book The Strength to Love. His powerful message declared love as a catalyst for social and political change. Inspired by Dr. King’s teaching over the years, I’ve prayed for my biracial sons, now adult men. My husband and I have taught them to fight hate with love, which isn’t always easy. When it seems like hate is winning, I cry out to God. How long, Lord, will we be divided by hate when we know You created us in Your image and commanded us to love You and others?
