There is an old song from 1John 4:7-8 that says, "Beloved, let us love one another. for love is of God and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love. Oh, Beloved let us love one another. 1 John 4: 7 and 8".
Sisters, we have been called to love. The scriptures say that love covers a multitude of faults. We want our faults covered but rarely do we want to cover the faults of others. Especially when what they have said or done "offends" or trespasses us. Our love should be greater than that. We should grow in grace and knowledge and in the LOVE of Jesus Christ. We should want to love others JUST LIKE JESUS LOVES US. He is kind, compassionate, forgiving and longsuffering. He loves you when you are obedient and believe it or not, when you are disobedient. Our disobedience hinders our path to the blessings He has for us, but He loves us in good or bad. We should all strive to nurture the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. We should want our fruit to mature.
As children of God, we should be dying to ourselves daily, taking up our cross and following the Lord Jesus. We are too alive to ourselves and not dead enough to our desires. We should love others so much that we don't mind not being right all the time. We shouldn't mind being crushed sometimes for that is when the fragrance of God is manifested in us. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples ...(how you may ask) by the love we have one to another.
My prayer today is that we would all desire as 1Corinthians 13 says the best gift... charity.
Agape to you today, my Sister DIVAs.
