Scripture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 John 4:7-8<\/strong>
7 Dear friends, let\u2019s love each other, because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God. 8 The person who doesn\u2019t love does not know God, because God is love.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 7:9-12<\/strong>
9 Who among you will give your children a stone when they ask for bread? 10 Or give them a snake when they ask for fish? 11 If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. 12 Therefore, you should treat people in the same way that you want people to treat you; this is the Law and the Prophets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
