"And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many,
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
Matthew 24:10-12
I think this is interesting because, at least to me, it points out the fact that one of our biggest problems is disunity. Anyplace Satan can drive a wedge, he will... trying to get us to be irritated with each other, to snap and yell and build resentment. One of the greatest powers that we can exercise is the power of love... not necessarily romantic type love, though that is powerful too... but just love, just caring about and for the people around us. Doing what we can to make them smile... doing what we can to help them know that they are loved and cared for.
So, today, in the interest of building up Zion, let's get out there and be cool and affectionate (in a good way of course) to the people around us... it builds our capacity to love, as well as making someone's day a little better. No betrayals today... no waxing cold. Remember that God *is* love, so he can help us out if we get affection-deficit disorder. :)
