Loving Each Other

John 15:17 (NKJV) 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

After all that Jesus had said and done, and after all He had been through, He left the disciples with one very short commandment; Love One Another.

How incredibly profound is that?

You see, Jesus knew that of everything we could say and do, as His followers, the one thing that would have the most impact was love.

Emotions are very powerful things. We feel so many things. We feel excitement. We feel anger. We feel anticipation. We feel disappointment. And we feel love. And to love is the one thing that Jesus told us to do before He left us.

The apostle Paul reiterated this in one of his epistles.

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Love overcomes everything, if we let it. But before love can overcome anything, we need to love others with a love that God has placed in us.

We need to love without judging. We need to love without condemning. We need to love just because. Because God has told us to.

And if we get God’s heart in us, then we can do this without hesitation.

Will it always be easy? Absolutely not. It will be the hardest thing we do in our lives. Loving someone who loves you back is easy. But loving someone who is spewing hatred at you is not easy at all.

So, it’s critical that we spend time with God, pressing in to Him and drawing near to Him so He can teach us how to love with His love.

It’s time for us all to step up to the plate and let God teach us what it really means to love one another, without boundaries, without hesitation and without reservation.

We need to love with abandon.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-17

God's Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.

Love is powerful. It unites, builds and heals.

If your marriage, family or relationships, etc., are falling apart, it is love that will help fix them.

Life can take its toll on us all, and our hearts can get pretty cold and hard over different things we go through. We can point fingers and say it’s so and so’s fault. And it may seem like we get some relief by blaming others for it. But it won’t change it or make it any better.

If we want to fix things on our end, we truly need to give it to God. Let Him step in. He is an expert at loving and He will teach us how it’s done.

The love that God has doesn’t give up when things get uncomfortable, or because something didn’t turn out the way we thought. This love doesn’t stop when things get too hard and complicated. Instead, it gets stronger.

Jesus Christ was God’s example to us on how to walk in such love. He never gave up on us.

There may be times that, because of love, we have to take a strong stand about something. But if we do it out of love, and with the right motive, no matter how it looks we will win!

Don’t give up. LOVE never fails.
