The
Power of Love
“Beloved,
let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born
of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
(1 John 4:7-8)
Today’s Morsel:
There is a lot to be said about love. When we truly love, there is no
bitterness or animosity in our hearts. To love one another is the command of God. It is His revealed will and is well-pleasing in His sight. It comes from Him,
it is a gift of His grace and a fruit of His Spirit.
When we love as Jesus did, we won’t harbor prejudice and bias in our
heart. As Paul says, “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity
envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave
itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things,
believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never
faileth...” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) Jesus gave us the power to do things.
Shouldn’t the love of the brethren be one of them? The proof of our regeneration
as a true born-again believer is seen in our love toward ourselves and
others. “Let brotherly love continue.” (Hebrews 13:1)
Sing: I want to live the way that He wants
me to live. I want to give until there’s just no more to give. I
want to love, love till there’s just no more love. I could never, never out
love the Lord.
Thought For Today: Don't forget the
flowers and chocolate.
