"We love because HE FIRST LOVED us." 1 John 4:19
We are called to do as Christ did; Love...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say that enough times. We are called to LOVE everyone.
Love your fellow humans. There is absolutely NO reason to not love someone ESPECIALLY after you FIRST meet them. WHat have they done to you at that point that merits a no-love response? I'm not calling any one person out, I'm just sayin: If we are to truly live out a CHRISTian walk.....we best be lovin' on peole.
CHRISTmas is a time of celebration for what our God has done for us.
"For He SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that who so ever BELIEVES in Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
The God of the UNOVERSE Loved YOU enough to send His Son to the Earth, live a human life, with human temptation, and die on a cross as YOUR scape goat.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL!
Some people cannot wrap their minds around someone loving them that much because they have never seen it displayed in their own life. Change that. Love on someone who doesn't know what it feels like. Love on the unloveable. They are unloveable because somethin went wrong. They don't trust. They don't have faith that Love will last because it has failed them so many times. Now, humans fail, daily, BUT GOD'S LOVE displayed THROUGH us will never fail. He will give us the key to His Love supply to tap into.
Are you thinking:
"This can't start with me. I am insignificant. I'm not Godly enough. he can't use me yet. Ineed to read a few more books. Lead a few more prayer meetings."
NO no no no no
I encourage you to read most of the significant stories in the Bible. God uses ordinary humans. To perform is MOST significant Act of Love for us, He used a teenage girl and carpenter fiance'. Imagine that happening in today's society. A young giggly girl and her working man boyfriend.
Are you breathing? DO you have a pulse? God's gonna use you :)
