“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another.”
(John 15:9-17 KJV)
Love, love, love! What a gift from God to humans; and a nature He shares with us! Love is of God and from God. Love abides in God and God, too, abides in Love. Love is rest for every weary soul, thirsty and wandering heart. Love is light. And so there is no middle ground in love. It’s either you are in the light or in darkness; either you are for love or against love. So beloved, let us love sincerely. For God cannot be mocked. Whatever seed of love you sow, so shall you reap. Reflect and Pray!
SHALOM.
