Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God
Agapomen Allelus, "Let us love one another".....when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk. Love and care for one another. It is your problem... it is your concern..to see to the well being of all you can..as you are able.
.....There will be times as a Christ follower that you'll feel unappreciated, and taken for granted. You'll not feel loved as you should be. When that happens you should love others anyway. BUT HOW? Because God is love and because God has loved us, we have God's love to give
It doesn't work to love people begrudgingly, to love when we don't have God's love inside us. If we're on empty, we don't feel like we have God's love to give. Instead, I suggest you just get loved up by God! Read the NT just looking for God's great love for you, and memorize some verses that you find. Pray, thanking God for the love He has given you. No measuring up, no pity party-just tell Him, "thank you Lord for loving me." Simply let God love you. Let His love fill you up so that it spills out to other people in your life. Open it up and let it flow. Let it flow and love one another......
