Thoughts for the day - 2/14/18

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
—John 13:34-35

Yes, we have been concentrating on love. Love is so central to the the message of Jesus. The 11th commandment, the summary of all other commandments, the foundation of Christianity itself centers around the Love our Father has for us and the love Jesus displayed in both His life and his death.

With all this knowledge about love and knowing it's so fundamentally woven into the the good news so purposely that we may learn and live with love for both the father and our neighbors, I ask this single question:

Can the world tell us apart, using this key indicator, can they "know we are Christians by our love"?

Today is the day to make sure they can.

Many Blessings.

God's love is perfect. Yet we can only love imperfectly. Is this enough for the world to tell us apart? I say yes, for as long as this imperfect love is expressed with sacrifice, charity, humility, concern and unselfishness to one another, we have loved as God loves us.

Amen Gems, I hope the world can tell us apart and I pray that it is more each day.

It will @bycoleman.

By the way read your post on paleo diet. Very nicely written. Now I know how you look like. You can start on the second part and I think this time more will read it.

My jogging post (have you seen it yet?) is so diverse from your paleo post in the sense that you dropped sugar all the way while I espouse jogging so I don't have to give up sugar lol.

I resteemed your article on Jogging hope it keeps climbing for you.

Thanks for the very kind gesture @bycoleman. Appreciate it very much though it's really not in keeping with with your topics nowadays. So I did not expect the resteem. It just might be able to get some uv's from your followers. Thanks again.

My topics are getting a lot of help! Hopefully as you say, some of will overflow onto you.

Thank you for the kind words.

I actually have not read anyone's articles in my feed for about a week. Just cannot get caught up. I am looking forward to reading yours.

Dropping sugar made a huge difference for me, I was able to exercise without getting so tired!

You might want to edit this post to change the date to 2/14/2018.

Yikes. Missed that, Thank you!

This is really true and especially during this "valentine" day. We are HIS Valentine and though we fail Him time and time again, and His love chase us down! Following our Master who commend us and actually show us how to love gives us the power to love one another :)

Keep on preaching!

Have a blessed Valentine's day!

you too! Too bad my other half is in a different part of the world right now! :P

Only physically!

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies"

Very elegant quote!

Thank you. Have a very blessed day.
