Love

Day XVIII

Jesus said if you love me obey my commandments and will have eternal life. Brothers and Sisters today let us remember LOVE the way to Jesus and to the Father. Showing our love to God and to our neighbors is what God commanded us to do here on earth. Let us relearn it again from the scriptures.

Romans 12


  9 Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another.  11 Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer.  13 Contribute to the needs of the saints, pursue hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.  17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people.  19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.  20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head.  21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 

The love that the bible is teaching us is the unconditional love we have to extend to God and to others. Unconditional in the sense that we do not have to doubt or entertain evil/worldly thoughts before we show love. Let us practice showing love without reason but we show love due to obedience to our Father in heaven. I know it is hard but YOU and I need to practice this every time. We should always observe this attitude of love for it is the great commandment of our lord Jesus Christ.
