What an awesome feeling to know our Heavenly Father truly loves us as His children. There are many examples and verses the Bible shows us about Christ and His love for us. For this very reason we should show others this same love.
As a family of believers, we must be willing to look past our own selves and the circumstances we may be facing in order to possess God’s type of love for our families, our friends, our church family, and most importantly love for our Savior, Jesus.
In Matthew 22: 37-39, the scribe asked Jesus what the greatest commandment was and Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Let’s remember why the Lord laid down His life for us, because He loved us and we should be willing to do the same for each other.
1 Peter 4:8-9 says, And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and go to someone you do not know and show them Christ’s love. This could be someone at church, the grocery store, convenience store, gas station, or anywhere the Lord places you. Let’s go above and beyond because Jesus did for us.
In Christ’s Love,
