There are times when I fail to follow this law like the way my Lord so does, so is.
John 13:35 “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
I do believe when we fail to love we reject Jesus Christ, because He is love. Though it may not have been our intentions, but ultimately this is what happens. Sadly.
Let’s remind ourselves shall we?
1 Corin 13:
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, b but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
So let’s be loving, shall we? 🙂
In His Love,
