Thoughts on Love, Peace, Grace & Glory
We are commanded to love one another. This is not always easy, but we usually make it more difficult. If we acted in wisdom we'd see how important it is to quit pursuing our desires and simply pursue filling their need as our service to Christ. Isn't that the whole essence of true love?
Love is: giving of myself to meet another's need whether they deserve it or not and expecting NOTHING in return. It's coming along side another when they need me there. It's giving, supporting, and sometimes giving up my need or wish in order to meet their need. Considering Christ did this when we didn't deserve it, we should do the same.
The Bible doesn't have to have a chapter and verse for every aspect of our lives or every circumstance. But it does seem to have all the answers!
The Bible commands we love. It's up to us to know how to show each individual love.
An important point not to miss is that when possible, live at peace, but always LOVE. Show grace, but not at the expense of God's glory. Yes turn the other cheek, but walk away if it will result in God's glory being stolen or in order to guard your heart.
