Kristine, Mom and Dad visiting in Dad's hometown of Ely, Minnesota.

Howdy,

Believers are to be known by their love. How is the world going to know us? By our love. By this divine love. By this God-kind of love. By this unselfish love.

This isn't natural human love. Natural human love is selfish. As a usual thing, even a mother's love is a natural human love. It's selfish. "That's my baby"! If we would learn to let the divine love of God, which is shed abroad in our hearts, dominate us, it would make a real difference in our lives. Natural human love can turn to hatred when it doesn't get it's way. The God-kind of love is not interested in what I can get, but in what I can give.

As children of God, the nature of God is in us and God's nature is love. So it is natural for love to be in our reborn spirit. However, if we allow our outward man and our mind to dominate us that love nature is kept prisoner. Let's release the love of God that is within us!

Nick and the Blaine Bengals return to action this week with two home games. Tonight they host Andover and Friday night Park Center comes visiting the Bengals.

Have a prosperous day,

Bill
