Love-A Precious Quality - BENEFITS OF SHOWING LOVE

There are many benefits of showing love. Let us  consider two examples: 

AN INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD: Because of our love for one another, we know that  the brothers and sisters in any congregation we  may visit around the world will warmly welcome us. What  a blessing it is to know that you are loved by "the entire association of your brothers in the world"!  (1 Peter 5:9) We can only find such love among God's people.

PEACE: "Putting up with one another in  love" allows us to enjoy "the uniting bond of peace." (Ephesians 4:2, 3)  We experience  the peace at our meetings, assemblies, and conventions.  Would you not agree that such a peaceful spirit is truly unique in today's divided world?  (Psalm 119:165; Isaiah 54:13) When we pursue  peace with others, we show that we truly love them, and this pleases our heavenly Father. -Psalm 133:1-3; Matthew 5:9.
