Living in Brotherly Love

The message you heard from the start,
Had come directly from the heart;
Is learning to love each other,
As being sister and brother.

You need not be like the devil,
Someone like Cain who was evil;
Murdered his brother and then lied,
To God after trying to hide.

He was mixing envy and greed,
As if it was a rightful deed;
Since he was feeling mighty grim,
Abel got the better of him.

Be surprised not if the world hates,
You since a pleased God compensates;
Though we are in the midst of strife,
For we have passed from death to life.

Because of other believers,
That are also love receivers;
From our Lord who is above,
Is showering us with His love.

Those who are not growing within,
From His love are then filled with sin;
And are also filled with much doubt,
Not knowing what Christ is about.
