July 3, 2015 – Romans 13:10

Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. Romans 13:10The power of innocent love.  A pure gift of God, for God is Love, with a capital ‘L’.   Look around you, what do your eyes behold?  I see our family who love each other and us and their children’s children.  I see my husband who loves God so deeply, that in the depths of dementia he knows Whose he is.  I see a universe created through love.  I live in a Saving Grace given to me, and you, God’s gift of Jesus through love.Love fulfills the requirements of God’s Law. The man answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.” Also, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”  Luke 10:27.How long can you go through a day – loving everyone you see and everyone you love and every one you pray for?  In doing so, we forget self, and love others as much as when we see our reflection in the mirror.  Love is all about relationship.  It is not a list of rules — it is whole-hearted, ‘all-in’, caring about someone else.  Love is about a no-judgement love,  Love is about forgiveness.A relationship is built on love, trust, understanding and self-control.  A relationship, not only with others, but a deep relationship with our Lord God.  We love because He first loved us. I John 4:19And because God loves us first — we can love others first and deeply.Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. Philippians 2:4
