LOVE

Is it as simple as is seems? No. To love someone should be easy, but it's not.

I'll never understand how God loves each of us- and loves us unconditionally. How we can turn our backs on Him, ignore Him, reject Him, sin in front of Him, hurt Him, talk about Him (or not), mistreat Him and His children- yet, He still desires the best for us. He still wants us in His Kingdom. He desires for us to live out our potential.

How do we learn how to live this love in our own lives?

Forgiveness is the key. Forgiveness is completely letting it go. Never bringing it up to ignite flames and remind someone of their wrongs against us. God never says, "Don't you remember when you did this? Well, I do!" He absolutely doesn't work like this once you have sincerely asked for forgiveness and repented. He doesn't alter the way He interacts with us because of our wrongs, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

God is interested in people and so shall we be. Our love must be sincere for one another. Prayer needs to be our first place for each other, because who better to turn to for help on another's behalf, but God. Cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly/sisterly love. Honor each other. We are all valuable. Share with one another and practice hospitality.

Apply this to not only strangers, co-workers and friends; but family as well. We take advantage of those we share blood with most. And it shouldn't be this way. Behave decently with everyone we come in contact with. Don't have enemies. If people want to hate you- cool; no one said you had to hate them back and model their ways.

Strive and determine to live in PEACE & HARMONY.

Love is displayed in your actions. Whatever we need to change, let's try taking that first step today.

Grace & Peace
