Love Deeply
It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
I sometimes wonder but I pray that I will never stop loving … and loving deeply.
But God commendeth his love toward us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us ~Romans 5:8.
THAT is deep love. That is the example Christ set. He suffered rejection, mocking, cruelty, and yet He never stopped loving. And He must have hurt deeply!
As we approach Thanksgiving, I begin looking forward to Christmas. I love this time of year. But it’s not about me. It’s about Him. How does He want me to live? What does He want me to do? How can I show more love to others?
My heart aches as I watch loved ones make bad decisions, become distant, go through hard times, etc. But, if I love them, I will still pray for them, be there for them, and reach out as God leads me to. It’s a tad easier when I realize that I am not always easy to love either.
There is a reason the Bible tells us to “bear each other’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2), bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things (1 Corintians 13:7), forgive as you have been forgiven (Mark 11:25). These things are not easy to do but they are required if we desire a close relationship with Him.
Don’t let the hecticity of this holiday season keep you from reaching out and showing genuine love to others.
Thanks for the reminder. I love your posts. They seem to come at the time I need them the most. God Bless you Sony and Keep up the good work.
