Thoughts for another day

Feb. 14, 2014.

Today's verse:  John 13:34, 35. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Love it was that made us, by which I mean, God loved us even before the earth was formed and the wonderful universe came to be.  God loves us so incredibly that He didn’t spare His only begotten Son but let Him go and die for us.  Ah, so we can now truly say, God proved His love for us and Jesus came even when we were seeped in sin knowing not the mess we were in.  We weren’t worthy to be saved yet, He came and saved us.  He says He did it for love and He means it for there was no other reason for Jesus to come and die miserably weren’t it for the fact that the Father loved us so much and He would have it no other way even when He saw Jesus struggling, asking the cup be taken away in the Garden of Gethsemane.

When we stand in love we stand in the wholeness of God for love is essentially God’s and can never ever have any evil in it.  If there’s any kind of love which doesn’t adhere to the tenets like forgiving, selflessness, sacrifice, giving, etc. then it’s no love for love exists for the other and so God showed us a path on which we need to walk when we say we love.

Because love is important, God commands us to love each other as He loved us.  It will be difficult for how can you love someone who’s constantly against you waiting to entrap you and thinking all evil toward you.  Yet we’re to love.  I don’t say I love this way for only God can love this way but we’re to try and perhaps, we may someday have genuine love like Him. And even when we desire in our hearts to love, we put a smile on His face and He will lead us on to be like Him, for whom there’s nothing like hatred and who bears no malice to anyone.
