Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

When the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961, it divided the capital city of Germany. West Germany remained part of the free world while East Germany was under the domination of the Soviet Union. There was a great division that remained until the wall was brought down in 1989.

At the height of the tensions, residents of East Germany began to throw bags of garbage over the wall to protest against the West. In response, citizens of West Germany filled bags with food and medical supplies and flung them over the wall with a simple note, “Each gives what he has.”

If we only extend love to a select few, we are not obeying the command of God, and we are not showing His love to a world that so desperately needs to see it. If we are to live as children of the King, then we must love as He loves. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
