Reading these WORDs of the Apostle Peter reminds me that I must, above all things, I must also LOVE even those who have not accepted Christ as Lord and Savior.

HIS WORD says that I do well to love my brothers and sisters, yet I am to express an even greater LOVE for those who are without HOPE in their knowledge of Christ.

As Peter mentions, an end of and a finality to all things is drawing near, therefore I must keep the thoughts of my mind focused, continuing to be alert and restrain myself from all appearance of evil.

Within my heart exists HIS LOVE, which must be evident in order bring others to a point and place in their lives where they cry out to HIM for mercy and forgiveness.

Praying for others around me, I must be constant in my communication with HIM, because HE desires that I LOVE the lost as much as HE does!
