LIVE TO LOVE...LOVE TO LIVE...THAT YOU MAY LOVE LIKE JESUS

May our love be not bound by the boundaries of skin color, financial status, hurt, bitterness, family or some other temporary restrain,
Our focus must remain on Christ our Redeemer, Savior, King, Comforter, our Greatest Example of love who gave Himself and bore our pain.

What do we live for as we awake and partake in each day that has been wrapped in grace by God as a gift for us to live and enjoy,
Bombarded by the devices of our wicked heart to distract, frustrate, hinder, discourage, and our day to search and destroy.

We must live to love others, not out of duty, but devotion, for we are love beyond what we can truly measure,
God has given us forgiveness, hope, faith, grace, strength, mercy, joy, and we are to be funnels to others of God's divine treasure.

Loving others like Jesus is very hard as we daily deal with disagreements, judgmental attitudes, and comparing ourselves to the outward appearance of man,
 Loving God, loving others as we love ourselves, serving, giving, caring, listening, and sharing the gospel is the true life and God's true Biblical plan.

We may struggle at times with living to love, loving to live that we may love like Jesus and truly make a difference in the lives of others in this world so temporary and dark,
It is times like these that we must stay the course, press on, seek the Lord daily, bow in prayer often, that we may daily on this earth leave a Christian mark.

Loving like Jesus is more than just the words that we utter in the moment, but the continuous actions of loving others even when we don't want to or it doesn't benefit you,
We must think and live Biblicaly day by day and being a funnel of God's love to those around us and faithfully live for Christ and do the things we should do.

.....Press On!
Do you love your family? Do you love your friends? Do you love your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? Do you love those you work with? Do you love the strangers that walk by? May the Love we show today and everyday not just being in the words we use in how we talk to them but also in how we treat them. Love by listening, caring, giving, helping, encouraging, accepting, forgiving...loving when you need to feel loved. Loving when it is someone who has shut you out. Loving when the love is not returned. The Love we are able to show is only because of the Love of Christ and the love He showed by His work on the Cross. Keep pressing on today in Love!
