“A new commandment I give you; Love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another”
-John 13:34
LOVE
1 commandment given by Jesus in the New Testament,
that summed up all others in to 1.
- It is the most liberating lifestyle, because it sets us free from self.
LOVE is sacrifice- It means doing something when it doesn’t always feel convenient and going out of your way for someone else.
It costs when we reach out to others; either time, talent, money and sometimes even pride. It is sacrificial giving.
LOVE is forgiveness. It is an effort that often makes us lay aside our passiveness, pride and basically our laziness of letting our flesh rule.
LOVE is involvement, not isolation. It requires reaching out. Love initiates that first act of kindness, of forgiveness and compassion.
It doesn’t do the right thing to get something; it does the right thing, because it just IS the right thing to do!
SAY THIS TODAY!
"I am a person of love, who loves just like Jesus commanded."
"My love goes out of its way for others, it forgives and is involved in the lives of people by initiating selfless acts of compassion and kindness!"
