Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-21

Galatians 5:14 (NKJV) 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love your neighbor.

Jesus said this was second only to loving God.

Loving God is easy. Loving others, though? Now that can be a challenge for all of us at times.

People can test us in every way possible. And when certain types of people start pushing our buttons, we have to rely heavily on the Holy Spirit to keep us loving them and not wanting to lash out at them and spew hatred.

The times in which we are living are especially difficult. The enemy is trying his best to divide and conquer. Nothing is “normal” anymore.

Some days it looks like he is winning, I will admit. But I know that God is on the throne and He is still in control of it all.

There are some things that just need to play out, and they can be painful to watch sometimes.

But our call is to keep loving people and letting God guide our every step. And that is exactly what I intend to do, even when it’s difficult to carry out.

No, none of us will ever hit it perfectly all the time. And sometimes we may miss it badly.

But if our spirit is willing, and our heart longs to please God, we will keep pushing forward and doing what we know is right overall.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-7-19

1 John 4:12 (NKJV) 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

When people hear, see and watch us, and they see that we truly care about them or others, that love that they see will break the backbone of hardness.

This “God kind of love” takes a deliberate effort to obtain. It takes us giving way to Him daily, hourly, minute by minute. It takes surrendering our heart, mind and flesh, 24/7. In other words, we are not walking by our flesh anymore, but by His Spirit.

Romans 8:9 (NKJV) 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

The question is, can we do this?

The change comes when God is alive in us. His Holy Spirit must have a place of freedom to guide, teach and demonstrate through us. Even when we don’t understand it, we must give Him the right of way and let Him do what it takes to help us get the job done.

We may say, “how do we let the Holy Spirit do whatever needs to be done in that moment?”.

We humbly let go of what we once knew and we submit by following His promptings. Trust that as we step out, He will catch us and show us where to land our feet.

May His love be perfected in you and I as we love like no other.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-21-14

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

We are to love one another.

Jesus commanded us to do so. We are to show the love of God to those around us, believer and non-believer.

Love disarms evil. It melts hardened hearts. It brings unity where there was division. And it draws people to God, instead of repelling them and pushing them away.

Proverbs 10:12 (NKJV) 12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

Love crosses international borders. It crosses cultural barriers. And love doesn’t see a person’s race or skin color.

We were all created equal by God Himself. It doesn’t mater where we’re from or what ethnicity we are. God expects us to love one another.

Skin color is just that; color.

It doesn’t, and shouldn’t, make us who we are. It should not dictate our preferences for friends, social status or political allegiance.

The color of our skin should not be something that we look at apart from the word of God. We are to love each other without ever looking at the color of someone’s skin.

Do you have racial prejudice inside you? Even just a tiny bit? Does the color of a person’s skin cause you to think of them a certain way, or do you simply see them through the eyes of God and love them?

This is a hard question and a very tough topic. But God wants it addressed.

So we ask you to let God examine your heart and show you if it is truly unbiased or if you’re harboring any kind of racism in it?

Love one another, regardless of the color of one’s skin.

By this the world will know that you are His disciples, if you have love for one another.
