There are angels in the sky like there are stars in heaven




John 13:34-35
34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

What's the test of loving one another?
:heart: God measure love by obedience, not by warm feelings. In his first epistle, John says that be leviers and know that they love one another by obedience by God's commands (1John 5:2) Love and obedience are so closely connected that John says, that this is love for Go: to obey his commands (1John 5:3)

Romans 12:9-21
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection,[a] and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.[b] 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!

17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,

“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,”
says the Lord.

20 Instead,

“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads.”[d]

21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

How much should we give up to live at peace? (12:18)
Our natural response is to surrender little for the sake of peace. But the Bible teaches that we are to overlook the offenses and work at loving others, praying for those whoa attack us (Prov.19:11; Matt 5:44). If they continue to attack, we may confront them or seek protection, but we do so for there good, hoping to win them over, not for personal vengeance (Matt18:15-17).

We put burning coals on someone?(12:20)
to Heap burning coals on someones head has been understood in several figurative ways. One view is that our kindness will cause our enemies; faces to burn with shame and motivate them to change their ways. The Bible never endures personal revenge or manipulation of others. To love our enemies means to do what it ultimately best for them.

I think that the editing on this one went something like: desaturated by 50%, added a blue tint and darkened it slightly. Just to give it that contradictory, "even though it's Summer we're experiencing days that could be Winter," feeling.
