 |    We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
| Brotherly Love will stay with dear ones every day to give both Hope, increasing Joy, supporting hearts. Brotherly Love is longsuffering to those in emotional and spiritual duress, being life to those, who have moved past feeling. Brotherly Love becomes a covering of Day to those, who are living through the dark night of the soul. Brotherly Love is a new commandment given to us by the Lord of Glory. This removes any options about expressing it. Brotherly Love expresses love to others in the same way Jesus loves each of us. Since He states, "love one another" twice in this verse, we are to take Him seriously, since the repetition constitutes the emphasis of faithful witnesses. Proverbs 27:10 shows us the great benefits of brotherly love for it creates kinship some those, who are not blood relatives. In times of difficulty, it is so much better to rest in the friendship of a neighbor, who lives nearby than to have to travel a long distance to be with kin. COVID-19 has certainly drawn communities closer to each other, since the quarantine removed the possibility of travel at least for a time. Will we survive as a community, city, state, nation, and the world? We will not survive by living separate lives in the long run. Social-distancing to save lives from a minuscule virus is temporary at best. Brotherly Love causes us to look out for the best interest of those nearby, that together we may live well in increasing Strength, Hope, and Joy.
