Love
God’s Love and Our Love
-An example to embrace, follow and practice
It shall be good to embrace and focus on “Agape Love’-God’s Inclusive Love. When you can’t or don’t want to love someone or somebody with your own love, then by all means know that agape; God’s inclusive love is available for you to grasp, behold and heap upon others, in the guise of blessedness.
During the Lord’s final act before the crucifixion he shared with the twelve disciples these words, {paraphrasing} My wish for you is that you would love one another as I have loved each of you. Apostle John reveals, in the new testament Bible, ‘let us practice loving each other, for love comes from God; and those who Are loving and kind show that they are worthy children of God, and that are getting to know him better’.
Some insights and Intel concerning the Bible, it is God’s inspired word, imparted and indwelt in the minds of the disciples and prophets to help others make a difference in their lives. I hasten to add, The Bible ought to be required reading, Why? Because when one exegete the B.I.B.L.E, it translates into:
B-basic
I-instructions
B-before
L-leaving
E-earth
As we read stories about love in the bible, we can become more like Jesus as we learn, embrace and put it into practice:
· How to care more
· Serve others better and more often
· And to Forgive and be Forgiven
In doing so; we shall be able to find the Love-of-God for our neighbors, our family, friends, and yes; even our enemies
“But I tell you who hear me: ‘Love your enemy’, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you.’ {LK 6:27-28} This is a clear example, and the epitome of “Agape Love”-God’s inclusive love. It may prove to be difficult and/or easier said than done. However, If you want to past the test it’s a must do…Go Forth and do your best to be steadfast and faithful on your daily spiritual sojourn of life.
