Love is the foundation of every command God has given us
The whole law of Moses can be summed up in this one command: Love others as you love yourself
Learning to Love selflessly is not an easy task.it runs counter to our self-centered nature, and that's why we are given a life time to learn it.
God definitely wants us to love everyone but he is particular about those in the house hold of faith-Those in his family.
After our purpose to live in worship of God, we also owe one another, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ, love.
Peter in his epistle tell us to show special love for God's people. Paul echos this admonishion saying 'When we have the opportunity to help anyone, we should do it'.
God insists that our brothers and sisters in Christ be the priority in our loving because he desires that his family would be known for love than anything else.
Jesus said to his disciples 'By this shall men know that you are my disciples when you love one another'.
We've got some tough work on earth to do, I tell you, to prepare ourselves for an eternity of loving.
Love cannot be learned in isolation.
You need the irritating, annoying,impefect people around some times, they help bring out the love virtue in you.
MAKE LOVING AND RELATIONSHIPS YOUR TOP MOST PRIORITY
Let the desire to love better be your greatest ambition. It should not be a good part of your life, but the most important part. Beautiful love relationships should be a priority to you because
A Life with no love is almost worth nothing. There must be something, someone that you love, that you can give it all for!
Read what Paul said
1 Corinthians 13:1-4
13 If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn’t love others, I would only be making noise. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do? Even if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, I would still be worth nothing at all without love. 3 If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn’t love others, it would be of no value whatever.
Love is not a side deal, it's real deal, it's serious deal!
sometimes we act like relationships are things to squeeze into our tight schedule, we talk about finding time for our spouse,children,friends,giving the impression that it is just a List of the many things in our lives, but in my own thought, it is what life is all about!
Finally know this all will pass away but LOVE WILL REMAIN FOREVER
1 Corinthians 13:13
13 There are three things that remain—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
