People do crazy things when they are led by their own lust and not by God, as you saw from David’s life.
Jesus is our example of being loving and kind to everyone He came across. He even taught this concept to us when he said, “and as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
I have mentioned charity and kindness today, and will now describe a great example of a person who showed God’s love to an individual.
In saying these remarks about Kobe Bryant and his daughter who has passed on, all I can think of are different verses in Psalm 23. Read with me.
