This
Is
My Command:
Love
Each Other.
Scripture
John
15
17
This is my command: Love each other.
Observation
This
verse only contains 7 words and only takes about a second to read it,
but living this verse out, now that is an entirely different story!
Those
three words out of the seven are not a suggestion by Jesus, no, they
are a command: “Love each other.” Family members who are
difficult to love … love them!
This
command is repeated over and over and over again in God's Word
because people, some people, no, maybe a lot of people are very
difficult to love! Hey, maybe you are one of those people who people
find difficult to love! Maybe I am!
Sharing
God's love, showing God's love toward someone, is always a choice
that you and I must make. It doesn't matter if we think that they
deserve or not! Let's love them!
John
13:34-35
So
now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I
have loved you, you should love each
other.Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are
my disciples.”
Romans
13:8
Owe
nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another.
If you love your
neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.
1
John 3:11
This
is the message you have heard from the beginning: We
should love one another.
Application
I
will look for ways to show my love to the more difficult people in my
life.
How
about you? Will you ignore this command or will you put into action?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for all the people that You have placed in my life,
those who are easy to love and even for those that take extra work on
my part to love and even like. Give me Your heart for the people
around me. Help me to express the love that I have for people in a
way that helps them to see Jesus in me.
