EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT LOVE. NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT LOVE IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME. THERE IS GOOD LOVE. AND THERE IS BAD LOVE.
LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN YOU THE DIFFERENCE. YOU CAN DRINK MILK, AND THIS MILK TASTES GOOD. YOU LIKE TO DRINK IT. IT DOES GOOD TO YOU. THIS IS LIKE GOD’S LOVE. IT IS GOOD LOVE.
BUT SUPPOSE SOMEONE EVIL CAME AND HE PUT POISON IN THE MILK? NOW YOU DRINK THE MILK. YOU DO NOT TASTE THAT THERE IS POISON IN THE MILK. THE MILK IS JUST MILK, THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE STRANGE TASTE TO IT. YOU DRINK THE MILK. YOU LIKE IT. BUT SOON AFTER THAT YOU FEEL SICK. OH, YOU FEEL SO SICK. THAT COMES FROM THE POISON IN THE MILK. YOU DIE FROM THAT POISON, STILL YOU COULD ALMOST NOT TASTE THAT IT WAS IN THE MILK.
THE GOOD LOVE COMES FROM GOD. THE EVIL LOVE DID ORIGINALLY ALSO COME FROM GOD, BUT SOMEBODY PUT POISON IN IT. IT WAS THE SNAKE SATAN WHO PUT POISON IN IT. OR SOMEONE WHO IS FRIENDS WITH THE SNAKE SATAN DID IT. THE POISON DOESN’T COME FROM GOD. YOU MUST NEVER DRINK LOVE THAT WAS MADE POISONOUS BY SATAN.
IN MILK, THERE IS SOME LOVE. BUT WHERE IS THE MOST LOVE? MOST LOVE IS IN MAN. ALSO ANGELS HAVE LOVE. THEREFORE, MAN AND ANGELS ARE NICEST TO MEET. BUT THEY CAN ALSO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS TO MEET.
YOUR BROTHER, YOUR SISTER, GIVES LOVE TO YOU. THAT IS NICE. LOVE IS NICE. BUT WHAT IF HE OR SHE PUT SOME POISON IN IT? IT ALMOST TASTES THE SAME, BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
WHEN YOU RECEIVE GOOD LOVE, GOD’S LOVE, YOU YOURSELF GROW IN GOODNESS. BUT WHEN YOU RECEIVE BAD LOVE, EVIL LOVE, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT FIRST TASTE RATHER GOOD, LATER YOU DIE FROM IT.
EVERYONE MUST ALWAYS CHECK THE LOVE. THE MILK YOU GET FROM GOD IS GOOD MILK. BUT THE LOVE YOU GET, IT CAN BE GOOD, OR IT CAN BE THAT THERE IS SOME POISON IN IT.
WHEN YOU ASK YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, THEN YOU KNOW WHICH LOVE IS GOOD, WHICH LOVE IS EVIL. HE WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU. THEREFORE, BEFORE YOU ACCEPT LOVE, ALWAYS ASK GOD IF IT IS GOOD LOVE.
