Loving like Jesus loves.
I don't and can't but maybe do, expect you to love me like Jesus loves me. But who am I kidding? Human beings cannot fully love or express love like God the Father and Jesus the son can. We always miss the mark one way or another, we are far from perfect. Whether it be in deed, thought or word.
Only God can provide that love that is so deep, the love that my heart craves, a love that only Jesus the creator of love, can satisfy. Thank you Jesus! You see friends, in the obedience that Jesus showed to the father by going to the cross and sacrificing his life even if he did not feel like it or want to or even how much pain he had to endure he did it, because he knew that's what God had called Him to do so through Him we can all now have a relationship with God like he intended for us to have since the beginning of time.
The greatest commandment we have been given is “You shall love the Lord your God with all you heart, and with all your
soul, and with all your mind,” and “the second is like it, ‘You shall
love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:37, 39) because of these commandments, what do you think we must be working every day at doing? Not only seeking, pursuing a relationship with God but also with others! Not only pursuing but loving. What does love mean?
According to the dictionary the word
love is a noun.
an
intense feeling of deep affection. "babies
fill parents with intense feelings of love"
synonyms:
|
deep affection, fondness, tenderness, warmth, intimacy, attachment, endearment; devotion, adoration, doting,
idolization, worship
|
According to the bible the meaning
of love is that according to 1 Corinthians 13
|
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does
not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and
always perseveres. 8 Love never
fails.
This is the way I pray to love and be loved in return.
