This is the truth as established by God’s word
Matthew 22:36 - 40
36 “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[e] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[f] 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
This simply means the measure of truth for all our actions and speaking should flow out of our love relationship with God. Experience the flow of God’s love in our relationship with him and then everything else done will be guided by LOVE.
It is not that "hairy fairy scary" thing of pretense. It is the kind of love that genuinely looks after the well being of others as not a secondary function but as a priority in our our day to day affairs
Stop a minute ask yourself who did you love, encourage and bless TODAY and YESTERDAY?
Not because they were good or deserved it, but just because God said it.
Not because you wanted anything back but just because love flows from our heart
Amen
Lord, may we love like Christ with the Agape ever giving, kind of love described in
1 Corinthians 13
New Living Translation
Love Is the Greatest 13 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. 11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. 13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
