walking in LOVE


Love is not a feeling
It’s a decision
It needs effort to love someone
It does not depends on any situation to love
It’s not selfish

If we love based on our feeling we wouldn’t be able to love others especially our enemy. But God asks us to love everyone including our enemy. But it sounds impossible right? How come you can love someone who hates you? How can you love someone who rejected you and never appreciate you?
I have one clear answer = Because God first loved us-each one of us with His unconditional love so I must love others like Jesus. I know its not gonna be easy but if we walk with God impossible is nothing. As I read this verse this morning God really spoke to me about forgiving and truly love God and His people.
We cannot truly love God while neglecting to love those who are created in His image.

1 JOHN 4: 16-21
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
As we live in God, our love grows more perfect.
We love each other as a result of His loving us first.
If someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we have not seen?
God Himself has commanded that we must love not only Him but our Christian brothers and sisters, too.
