John 15:17 (NKJV) 17 These things I command you, that you love one another<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How incredibly profound is that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The apostle Paul reiterated this in one of his epistles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We need to love without judging. We need to love without condemning. We need to love just because. Because God has told us to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if we get God’s heart in us, then we can do this without hesitation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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<\/i> love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We need to love with abandon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
