Luke 10:27 –

And he answering said,

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,

and with all thy soul,

and with all thy strength,

and with all thy mind;

and thy neighbour as thyself.

We Know love covers a multitude of Sins.

(1 Peter 4:8 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.)

There are so many different types of love.

Romantic love for our spouse/significant other.

Love for our brother or sister.

Love for our parents.

Love for our fur babies.

Love for our Country.

Love for our neighbor.

Love for the downtrodden and homeless…it goes on and on.

And, the most important love of all is LOVE FOR OUR FATHER.

John 14:15 – If ye love me, keep my commandments.

When we express kindness, compassion and forgiveness to others we are shining our inner light and following Christ. Staying with His commandments is an overt admission of our deep devotion and love for Him.

With each new day comes a renewal of heart and another day for another chance to express our devotion to the LORD.  No matter how dark the night is, the “light” will come in the morning.  The darkness cannot hide from the LIGHT…which will always be with us, indicative of His presence and love for us.

John 14:23-24 – Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

When we are in compliance with His Word and His ways we are “one with Him” and inasmuch He lives “in us.” When we are unkind to someone, be it through a harsh word or action the Spirit grieves.  Each one of us is a reflection of Christ…and what we do to someone, we are doing to Him.

1 John 4:19 – We love him, because he first loved us.

He came looking for us all those years ago.  He loved us before we knew Him…He loved us before we were born…He loves us even though we are sinners.  He loves us more than anyone in our lifetime or beyond.

So when the sun comes up in the morning, sing a song of praise to Him!

Shout His name and exalt Him to the highest!

Tell Him you love Him!

And, then show Him how much you love Him by loving others through Him!

“Father thank You for this new day and everyday that I rise, may I be an example to all I come into contact with, may my inner light shine to those in the dark, and may my love for You be expressed all day, everyday, today and always, in Jesus Christ name, I love You, Amen.”

John 17:24 – 17:26

 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am;

that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me:

for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
 

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:

that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
