I was suppose to be in the nursery tonight with my mom but we didn't have any children so went upstairs to hear the peaching and God knew I needed it!!!
2 Corinthians 5: 14-15~ "For Christ's love compels, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again."
Does Christ's love compel you if not what are you compelled by? He died for YOU on a cross..a perfect man took on your sins and died on a cross in your place is that enough to make you want to love others?
1 Corinthians 13:1~"If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."
We are to speak in love when we speak and talk to people....if you speak and it isn't out of love it has no meaning it is just like racket no point POINTLESS so why talk!!! But that doesn't mean it is okay not to talk to people for this reason or another..that means we need to learn how to show love through our words and do so..stop making excuses..who cares if you "like" the person or not we are called to LOVE everyone not who we are comfortable with or who we "feel" like loving (love is NOT a feeling by the way) at the moment but EVERYONE!!!
Matthew 22: 36-39~"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' " This is the first greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love the neighbor as yourself.'
Notice that this says love your neighbor as yourself!! Neighbor is anyone you come into contact with and you are to love them as yourself, not how you choose to love them but just as you love yourself. And Love is NOT something you say...It is an ACTION (verb) something you do!!!How are you going to love or will you? Love doesn't mean like them it means LOVE them unconditionally as Jesus loves you, not half heartedly but whole heartedly reguardless of what they may have done to you or anyone you know, LOVE them anyways!!!
John 13:34-35~"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
You want people to know you are a Christian show love!!
