1 John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we are a child of God, we know what love is, and we know how to use it.<\/p>\n

God is love. He forgave our sins and received us as His child when we put our faith and trust in Him.<\/p>\n

We cannot deny that the moment this happened we felt loved in a way we’d never felt before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Oh, the warmth of God\u2019s love wrapping around us the moment we said, \u201cyes, I believe.\u201d It\u2019s like no other.<\/p>\n

How many can testify of the love we felt in that moment of being born again?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I was only a young girl. But I’ll remember what I felt that day forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We know love, people. It\u2019s in us. We were born again because of such love!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do we lay down our lives for our brother?<\/p>\n

We love them with that same love. We love them when they’re angry. We love them when they’re hurting. We love them when they talk foolish.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to love our brother when they are good to us and easy <\/em>to love. But, try loving them when they are annoying, frustrating and sassy.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be easy until we let God\u2019s<\/em> love shine. And in order to do that, we have to humbly accept the fact that He loved us that way, even in our worst moments.<\/p>\n

He did not turn us away or talk down about us. He loved us the same then as He does now that we are cleaned up and living a different life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don\u2019t ever forget where we came from. I speak for myself, but I’m sure we all have a story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lay down our lives for our brethren. We need each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I\u2019m talking to someone today; you\u2019ve been fighting with your brethren for some time now, and it\u2019s not getting you anywhere.<\/p>\n

You are always angry and uncomfortable around them. It\u2019s time to stop and turn this thing around. In Jesus’ name, forgive them and love them with the love God put in us.<\/p>\n

It’s time to walk this out and lighten your load. Today you will be free as you love on your brethren in spite of how they are as a person. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our prayers are with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
