“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."”
John 13:34-35 NASB

This is really the only commandment Jesus gave us. In the Old Covenant there were Ten Commandments, of course compounded by many more rules. In the New Covenant there is this one. If you want a further description of what it means to love each other, read 1 Cor 13. It's not there to just be quoted at weddings. 😆 It's 11pm right now and I've committed to writing a daily devotional. That's love. I think. ☺️
You can't love without being loved first. It's impossible. Fortunately God foresaw this; We love Him because He first loved us.
Most of us live with an idea of love, but not an encounter with the God of Love. Philosophy and brain farts can't get us there. We need to have heaven meet earth like a sloppy wet kiss in our hearts. Then again and again until we overflow.
The church hasn't been known for Her love. Let's change that. ❤️
