We have heard it said that the rules to life are to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, all of our mind, with all of our soul and all of our strength and to love our neighbor as we love ourself.
But what does that love look like?
I read this this morning.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Cor 13:4-7 NIV
We love like Jesus loves us.
It may seem impossible to love like this. In a way, it is. We can’t give what we haven’t received so step one is to receive the love of God through receiving God’s gift of forgiveness in Jesus. We can do that today.
It starts with a simple prayer. We just need to ask to be forgiven for our sins. Then we acknowledge that we are giving over the control of our lives to Jesus. We must believe that Jesus died and rose again and through that process, he paid for our sin and is now alive forever interceding for us.
Then tell someone that you did this. Tell me or someone you know who is already following Jesus. Telling someone else makes it real.
Tell me. I would love to hear your story.
