Carry On

​

To

​​

continue is to carry on.  Of all that should continue, James wrote, "Let brotherly love

​ ​

continue." (James 13:1). Together, those four words are

​​

to the point. It's God's

​Love ​[for us] that caused Him to send Jesus to the cross to redeem us; it's that same Love that is to continue as

​ ​

a

​​

flow

​[through ​

us

​]​

to others.  One thing is

​certain, however; to continue to flow, it must be present and active: it cannot continue otherwise. In the rest of the chapter, James instructs us toward Christian sacrifices that are pleasing to God.  Such selflessness is rooted solely in God's source and eternal flow of Love, which equips us "with everything good"

​ ​

to "do His will … that which is pleasing in His sight." (13:21).  

​Does His Love exist in you?  If so, do not restrict His Flow: carry on.
