Today's
E-Votion The
Meaning of (this) Life Have
you ever wondered "what's it all about?" Let's take some time with
the
Word of GOD to see what He has to say about it! Purpose
#1
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your mind.
Purpose #2
Love
your neighbor as yourself.
Ephesians 4:16 (New Living Translation)
Under his direction, the whole body is
fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the
other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Loving
the unlovable person We are studying principle #2 in the
directions given to us by JESUS on how to live
this life. And that directive is to "Love our neighbor as
ourselves." Another way of saying this might be, "Allow GOD'S
love to flow through you to all people." But what about the
"unlovable?" Once I was going to church with a person whom I also
worked with each day. He was very annoying! I prayed to the LORD
to change him. Well, the LORD
answered the prayer but instead of changing him HE
changed me! HE caused me to love
this person. But that is not always how it will go. Some
people are truly unlovable. But, especially in the Body of CHRIST,
we must love one another. Here is a great principle to accomplish this. JESUS
loved us when we were unlovable For a Holy GOD
to love a sinful creature is a miracle beyond miracles. It took so much effort
that it resulted in the death of one of the parties. JESUS
died for us while we were yet unlovable. In fact, JESUS
died only for imperfect, unlovable people. Us! When
we find someone who is unlovable, we can remember HIS
example and allow HIS great love to flow through
us! (Disclaimer)
Loving our neighbor as
ourselves does not require
living in an abusive or dangerous relationship.
Some
people need to be loved from a great distance)
