Love.....

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8




When you think about life, and how to live a good Christian life, the main thing that this life boils down to is LOVE! Love of an amazing heavenly father and that love shining through us on a daily basis. The Bible says to "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your father in heaven". What is supposed to shine through us? God's love to the world! 
The verse above might sound harsh but if we don't love we are breaking a very important command of God's to "love God" and then "love your neighbors as yourself"!  The Bible also says that if we do  not love we are no more than just noise.... (1 Corinthians 13). God is love! The verse says it so clearly. If we claim to know God than we need to love! Do we show that we love God and that we are His by loving others? Do we show our kids that we love them daily? Do we show our spouses that we love them daily? do we show our friends that we love them? Do we show those we meet on the streets daily that we love? We are supposed to LOVE! and show God's love through our everyday words, actions, deeds, how we speak, what we do, through our LIVES! Do we LOVE??? 
If we claim to be sons and daughters of God, and God is love... Are we showing that we are sons and daughters of LOVE?? Or are we acting more like sons and daughters of hate, anger, malice? We need to start acting like we are HIS children. We need to start daily showing love to those around us. We need to start being thankful for the things that God has given us, and those He has placed in our lives. Start loving those God placed in our lives instead of finding fault, but truly finding the best in people and love them for the things that they are to God! We can fault find all day with the people that are in our lives... But it takes true commitment to God and to love to actually love people and SHOW it!  LOVE! That is what I leave with you today! Love the people that God loves! Love the people God has placed in your lives. Love the people that you meet from day to day! Show God's love today!!!
