Man was made to be loved rather than to be like while animals, plants and other things were created to be liked but today the revised is true. Today, we have revised the trend and now we love animals, plants and material things while we like man. That is, we love material things, plants and animals while we like ourselves. It is because of this that we are killing ourselves due to materials things. We love material things, animals and plants more than ourselves. Due to these, we kill, fight and hate one another.

These would not have happened if we had not changed the way of the LORD GOD in our lives that is the way GOD want us to live. HE wants us to live a life of love by loving one another. Listen to what the Bible says, “For GOD so love the world that HE gave HIS only begotten son that whosoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have everlasting life.” This is telling and teaching us that it is because of the love that GOD has for us that’s why HE sent HIS only son JESUS CHRIST to come and die on earth for our sins. It was not because of the love of material things, plants and animals that GOD sent HIS only son on earth but it was because of the love HE has for you and me that HE sent HIS son to come and die on earth.

Animals, plants and materials things do not have souls but we human beings have souls and the Spirit of GOD in us. How can we love animals, plants and material things more than our fellow human beings? This clearly shows how we listen to the devil instead of GOD our Creator. It also shows how we disobey the words of GOD in the Bible.

My dear parents, friends, sisters and brothers; if GOD is our first love we will love our fellow human beings. If we love one another, we will not kill, cheat and lie against one another because of materials things and things without souls like animals and plants. Because we do not love GOD that is why we have no regard for our fellow human beings. For example, look at our leaders in the world today; they prefer to stick to power or hold their positions so that human beings will be killed in the process of removing them from power or from their positions. They do not value the lives of their fellow human beings but they value their positions more than the lives of human beings. If some of our leaders have love in them, they would never sacrifice the life of any human being because of their positions or anything else. Human beings are like material things to them.

Make GOD your first love and never love animals, plants and material things more than your fellow human beings. If GOD is our First Love, automatically we will love our fellow human beings because whoever love GOD, love his fellow human beings.
Thank You LORD JESUS for you loves us more than anything in the whole world. Your love endures forever.
Give thanks and praises to the Almighty GOD who loves you so much and nothing can separate you from HIS love.
Thanks.

 
I think its a mistake to presume God loves everyone; "I love them that love me" (Proverbs 8:17). This would seem to indicate a condition? "He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father" (John 14:21). Will God save those who reject Him? Does God love those who hate him? While God's love is extended to everyone, I don't think its automatically given to those who hate & reject Him.

"A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." (Proverbs 12:10). God gave man dominion, but unlike humans, animals are sinless, and there are many verses that encourage us to treat them good. "For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine." (Psalms 50:10-11)

I do agree that everyone's highest degree of love should be directed towards God. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment." (Matthew 22:37 & 38)
 
No! That is not what the message is saying little Sis. The message is simply saying that Man was created to be Loved rather than to be liked, and we should love one another.

Wait, wait, wait for a single minute. So are you saying that we won't have animals or mythical creatures in heaven?!

Sir, it is not a mistake. GOD loves everyone. For it is also written, "For GOD so love the world that HE gave HIS only begotten son that whosoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).” But not everyone loves GOD. For this is the Love of GOD, that we keep HIS Commandents (1John 5:3)."
When JESUS CHRIST our LORD was here on earth Physically, HE loves everyone and HE died for everyone.

GOD loves us all but unfortunately not everyone loves GOD.
