Love Goes Beyond Liking
Read:
|
From childhood on, we are urged to show love, whether it's for parents or pets or friends, and especially for Jesus. But what is love?
We think of love as an emotion, a tender feeling, a positive reaction. So when Scripture commands us to love God and our neighbor, we may be confused about the meaning of love (Matthew 22:37-40).
Feelings simply cannot be commanded. A mother can order her child to love spinach, but she can't compel him to react positively when faced with a helping of that green vegetable.
So love must be more than an emotion. An old translation of our Lord's command may help us to understand love as an action that we choose: "Thou shalt love . . . ." It's choosing to be patient, kind, selfless, and humble (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). We can love others even though we may not like them, because it's a matter of making a choice.
Yes, we can respond obediently to what our Savior directs us to do. He knows, though, that we are not capable of doing this on our own. That's why He's given us the Holy Spirit to empower us to a life of loving obedience. With His help, we can learn to love those we don't like. Who knows? We may even begin to like them. Vernon Grounds
Loving others requires a heart of obedience to God.

Yea, when I are on nights I typically sleep from like 7:30am to about noon and then from about 2pm to about 4:30pm. Unless I am not working that nite like tonite. then I try to sleep till about 1pm or so. Then I stay up all afternoon so I can sleep that night.
It usually works
BTW, how about an update on the "Great SAM and snippy Eviiil Capatalist Endeavor"tm for the denizens of the Foxhole sometime in the next few days, eh?
