Hebrews13:1 Let brotherly love continue.(Holy Bible-KJV)
When we look around today, we find signs that some segments of society don't respect, much less, love other segments or fractions. The truth is that the Bible teaches us to have brotherly love for each other. There are no conditions of brotherly love. It encompasses all genders, races and religions, for all men are brothers by virtue of the fact that God created all mankind. It does not matter what part of the world you live in, we all are divinely connected, and yes, we are our brother's keeper. Distance does not sever the bond that ties us altogether as one world, under God.
Understanding the principle of brotherly love will dissipate the "aloneness" that one can sometimes experience. When one truly embraces the reality of a connection with all, he will no longer feel isolated. He or she will feel the divinity of love that does not separate, but rather, resonates from heart to heart, for love has its own heartbeat.
It is energy that cannot be denied. This energy has a force to it that that cements all of us together on a higher plane if we submit to its power.
When we submit to the awareness that all men ((and women) are created equal, and all deserve love and are connected by the supreme love: the love of God, our creator, we become free. We become free in the sense that we now have acknowledged our oneness, our sameness, instead of our differences. We are free now in the knowledge that we all came from the same source: God, for God is love!
Now, we can rejoice in the sheer commonality of the one love that unites us which leads us to bask in the essence of "brotherly love".
