Love is a strange thing. It is easily felt, or not felt. It is pretty easy to see most of the time. Yet, it is really hard to describe or define. It is really easy to love those who love us. It is easy to reciprocate love because love truly flows from two people that really love one another.
However, do we love those that aren't necessarily good to us? Do we love folks that can absolutely do nothing for us? Do we love others that we know don't love us? Do we love those who talk about us, put us down?
Today's word sis John 15:17, KJV, which reads, "These things I command you, that ye love one another."
In this passage, JESUS doesn't "recommend" that we love one another; He doesn't "suggest" that we love one another. No, He COMMANDS us to love one another. Now, does this mean that we are to be pushed around and bullied and belittled and abused? NO! This simply means that we are to love others just because they are worthy of love. Just as GOD loves us though we certainly don't deserve it.
There will be those in your life that it is best to avoid and best to cut ties with. Yet, even if it is best that you not have a relationship with someone, you can still love them. I truly want others to experience success. I truly want others to experience joy. I truly want others to know love. Now, as I have often stated before, I don't mean to tolerate or accept sin. We must love someone enough to point out their shortcomings (we all have them) and, then, point them to GOD. He is the only One that can cleanse them and make them whole. May GOD help us all to love one another.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
