Love One
Another
/ God is
Love
It
is my
belief
that we
need to
be
walking
in the
love of
God –
ESPECIALLY
TODAY.
This is
the
gospel
of
Jesus.
The
heart
and core
of the
Bible is
God’s
love for
us and
His
command
that we
love Him
and love
our
neighbor
as
ourselves.
(John
3:16,
Matthew
22:37)
This
is one
of those
commandments
that are
often
easier
said
than
done.
Oftentimes
the
current
pressures
and
events
of daily
living
present
many
opportunities
to step
out of
love
toward
others.
Jesus
warned
us that
offenses
will
come
(Luke
17:1),
so we
should
not be
surprised
when
faced
with the
temptation
to be
offended.
However,
harboring
an
offense
stops
the love
of God
from
operating
through
you. God
still
loves
you and
wants
the best
for you,
but your
capacity
to
receive
His love
becomes
restricted.
Jesus
said
there
would
come a
time
when
“the
love of
many
will
grow
cold.”
(Matthew
24:12)
The
battle
is on.
It is
God’s
love
that
brings
people
to
repentance
as it is
revealed
in His
kindness.
(Romans
2:4)
Love
enables
people
to
continue
serving
the
Lord. It
is God’s
love
that
moves us
to go
share
the
Kingdom
to
others
around
the
world.
Therefore,
if the
enemy
can get
people
out of,
or away
from,
the love
of God,
the
advancement
of the
Kingdom
is
restrained.
Love
is a
choice,
not a
feeling.
God’s
love for
you is
revealed
in how
He gave
His Son.
God’s
love is
self-sacrificing
in order
to
benefit
others.
Jesus
revealed
it
through
His
surrender.
By this
we know
love,
because
He laid
down His
life for
us. And
we ought
to lay
down our
lives
for the
brethren.
(1 John
3:16)
God
loved us
so much
He gave
His Son
to die
in our
place
for our
sins.
Jesus
was
willing
to leave
the
comfort,
glory,
joy and
peace of
heaven
to come
into a
world
filled
with
troubled,
sick,
hateful,
suffering
people.
It was
love
that
caused
Him to
endure
the
rejection,
agony,
and
torment
of the
cross.
Give
thanks
to the
LORD,
for he
is good;
his love
endures
forever.
(Psalm
118:1)
God
is love.
His
thoughts
toward
you are
always
love.
God
loves
the
world
regardless
of
whether
we love
Him or
not.
Despite
all your
many
offenses,
He
forgives
and
releases
you
(Psalm
103:3
Voice).
His love
is not
dependent
upon our
actions
or
reactions;
He not
only has
love, He
is love.
(1 John
4:9-10)
As you
receive
God's
love, it
comes
with
forgiveness,
compassion,
and
power
for you
to live
securely
in Him
now and
forever.
His love
covers
our
weaknesses
and
failures.
His love
can
reach
into
your
past and
erase
all
failures
and
sins.
His love
embraces
you in
the
present
with
help for
today
and hope
for
tomorrow.
His love
has
already
designed
your
future
and He
is there
before
you get
there.
You are
safe and
secure
in God's
love.
God will
NEVER
stop
loving
you. His
love for
you
endures
forever.
Seeing
Jesus’
love for
us is
vital
for our
wellbeing.
Choosing
to love
as He
did will
take us
to the
people
He has
assigned
us to
reach.
God has
no other
plan. He
works
through
us to
fulfill
His will
in the
earth.
It all
started
in
Genesis
when God
gave man
dominion
in the
earth.
He works
through
people
who
choose
to do
His
will.
Remember,
love is
not a
feeling.
You may
or may
not have
an
emotional
experience
or
feeling
when you
choose
to love.
The
important
issue is
to
decide
to love
because
you were
born
again
into the
love
nature
of God
and He
has
commanded
you to
love.
You have
the
ability
to love.
Choose
to make
your
flesh
and mind
obey
your
spirit
to walk
in love.
Forgive.
Release
offences.
Speak
blessings
upon
those
who have
attacked
you.
Make
love
your
primary
focus.
Think
about
the love
of God
constantly.
Confess
the
scriptures
on God’s
love in
you,
such as:
Now hope
does not
disappoint,
because
the love
of God
has been
poured
out in
our
hearts
by the
Holy
Spirit
who was
given to
us.
Romans
5:5
Beloved,
let us
love one
another,
for love
is of
God; and
everyone
who
loves is
born of
God and
knows
God. He
who does
not love
does not
know
God, for
God is
love. In
this the
love of
God was
manifested
toward
us, that
God has
sent His
only
begotten
Son into
the
world,
that we
might
live
through
Him. In
this is
love,
not that
we loved
God, but
that He
loved us
and sent
His Son
to be
the
propitiation
for our
sins.
Beloved,
if God
so loved
us, we
also
ought to
love one
another.
(1 John
4:7-11)
My
prayer
for you
is that
you will
experience
all God
has for
you!
Victorious,
only by
His
GRACE!
