love faithfully

When we love others, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Our love for others allows God to be seen through us. I mean think about that...Whenever I see people loving others like crazy, there is a noticeable difference them and those who don't love. I am sure you have noticed that too! Love that is shown is from God.

We don't love naturally without God shining through us.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete. ( John 4:12)

John isn't telling us how many people to love, but how much to love the people we already know. Our job is to love faithfully the people God has given us to love, whether there are two or two hundred of them.

If God sees that we are ready to love others, he will bring them to us. No matter how shy we are, we don't need to be afraid of the love commandment.

My challenge for you is to love the people that you know. Sometimes I think we create unrealistic expectations for ourselves when we want to love everyone. Love the people you know! That is faithful love.

One of the things that will never make sense to me is seeing a person love everyone they are around at work or outside of their home and then they go home and don't love those who they are closest too. Are you really loving faithfully if you don't love those are who are closest to you? If you ask me, I believe it's most important to love those who are closest to you.

Love those are closest to you. Love the people you see everyday. Faithfully love.

Our faithful love will lead others to seeing God's love for us.
