So now I am giving you a new commandment:
Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
John 13:34-35 NLT

“To love someone means to see him as God intended him.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky
***
Love means doing what God has commanded us,
and he has commanded us to love one another,
just as you heard from the beginning.
2 John 6 NLT
***
Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree
and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another,
and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other.
Desmond Tutu
***
Most important of all,
continue to show deep love for each other,
for love covers a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8 NLT
***
Heavenly Father,
You desire all Your children to love others as Christ loved us,
but my love is poor and weak and is far removed for all that You desire of me.
Fill me I pray, with the love of Christ
that I may love others in the same way that Christ loved me,
so that as Your love pours into my soul,
I may be used as a conduit for Christ’s love
to stream out to others with whom I come into contact.
Help me to demonstrate Your love, not only to those that are lovable,
but also to those who lash out at me through pain or anger, disappointment or loss.
May the love of Jesus be manifested in me,
and may the love of Jesus be distributed, by grace through faith,
to all with whom I come in contact.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
