Jesus says that we are to love one another/our neighbors as we love ourselves. Some would think that this commandment is an easy one. Hmmmm, let's talk about this.
• love can hurt
• love can make you sick
• love can make you cry
• love can break your heart
• love can be mistreated
• love can be misrepresented
• love can be betrayed
• love can cause you to lose your mind
• love will take your appetite
• love can cause you to lose your sleep
• love will sometimes walk away
• love can grieve you
To love another/your neighbor as much as yourself takes STRENGTH!
So, don't come at me with how tough you are, how bad you are or how physically strong you may think you are. If you want to impress or be impressive, I dare you to show some TRUE STRENGTH and love someone!
It takes a strong person to love the one who is resembling everything that you are not, but true love will overlook, overshadow and overcome if you can just be strong through it all.
"The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show DEEP LOVE for each other, for LOVE covers a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:7-8 NLT)
