 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our

lives for our brothers and sisters.

how can the love of God be in that person?

18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.  

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence.

anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him

1 John 3: 20-21

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives,

that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

FINAL THOUGHTSFINAL THOUGHTSThe worm is believed to have originated near Manila in the Philippines on 5 May 2000 local time and to thereafter have spread westward across the world, moving first to Hong Kong, then to Europe, and finally the US as people reported to their offices that Friday morning.

The outbreak was later estimated to have caused US $5.5 billion in damages worldwide.Already ten days later 50 million infections had been reported.

Most of the damage cited was the time and effort spent getting rid of the infection and recovering damaged files from backup. In order to protect themselves,

The Pentagon, , CIA, the British Parliament, the British Parliament, and most large corporations were forced to completely shut down their mail systems.
