I cannot say that I have loved my fellow believers too much, either. I am really intrigued with this concept that the Apostle Peter is driving at. That is, that being "born again" enables us to love others - particularly our fellow believers - deeply, sacrificially and unconditionally. All I can say is, Lord, forgive me for loving so stingily and conditionally! I am reminded that we need the Holy Spirit's filling on a continual basis as we depend upon His Word and supernatural power to enable us to love in a way that the world simply cannot reproduce or understand.
