Examples of kindly in a Sentence

1. Emeasoba George:

   The entire law or scripture is summed up in a single command. Guess what it could be? It's nothing else but love your neighbour as yourself, scripture reference (Galatians 5 : 14). So, says the scripture and I'm saying the same thing. You've got to love all and sundry, even if you don't like them. Do you hate at the expense of love? If yes then, please do away with hatred and kindly replenish yourself with love. For, a call to love all is a divine command which you should strictly adhere to. Yes of course, you should love and never hate. Besides, God first loved us. So that we can love one another in return. Therefore, love all and hate none.
