"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." -I John 4:12 (NIV)
A friend recently posted a quote that reads, "When Jesus said love your neighbor, He knew your neighbor would act, look, believe, and love differently than you...it's kind of the whole point." We are called to love one another. Jesus doesn't tell us to only love our neighbors if they think and act like us. We are called to love everyone!
There are times when we can get caught up in looking for what's right or wrong and we lose sight of the command to love one another. We know that we are all sinners, each and every one of us, but that shouldn't stop us from showing love. We don't have to agree with each other to love each other. We don't have to look alike, act alike, or even believe the same things as our neighbors to love them. Jesus knows that those around us will be different that each of us, but we are called to know God, know His love, and share His love with everyone!
Know God, know His love, and show His love to everyone!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me even though I am a sinner. Help me to show Your love to everyone. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
