Love One Another ALWAYS

What does love really mean? I think we all have asked ourselves this question, one time or another. Sometimes we find it hard to love other people, maybe because they don't have enough money, we think they are weird, or simply because we just don't want them in our circle of friends. Well, as the Bible teaches us, we must love everyone. It doesn't matter what race, sexuality, weight, etc. I just think we love them, unconditionally. We are no better than the person standing next to us in the grocery line, car wash or fast food line. 

I think the best way to describe it is like the verse John 13:34, A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Jesus is saying, I gave my life for you and your SINS, the least you can do for me is love one another.  I have thought about this often.  Gods love is so powerful.  We do not deserve it.  Even when we do the wrong things, he forgives and still loves us.  Shouldn't we treat other people the same way?  What a world this would be if we could do that one simple thing. True love can be painful and it will bring sorrow, but it is also rewarding at the same time.  God has given us so many gifts, but the best one was giving his son on the cross, so that he who believes will have everlasting life.  So the next time you can't forgive someone, think about all the stuff Christ has forgiven you for and continues to love you.............do the same and it will change your life.
