Love one another

We are liberal with the use of the word love.  Our love is declared freely for just about everything...I "love it" has become an overused phrase.  If only we were as liberal with the practice of truly loving others.  It is easy to express a passionate emotion over a food, place or thing. We can be very expressive, passionate and excited when we just love a thing.  But what about people?  Do we just love them? Every one? Granted, there are different types of love.  Love for a hamburger isn't the same as the love for a friend or the love for a child.  Better still, God's love for us.  Unconditional. Our love for Him requires all our heart, mind and soul.  God expects us to love others like He loves us...no matter what.  Love trumps hate.  And that takes loving it to a whole new level.  Saying it and showing it, there's the challenge.  Hate destroys. Love overcomes. Think about love today..all kinds of love...especially God's love. Allow His love to invade your heart and demonstrate your love for Him by loving others like He does...

“If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”
