Gods Command to Love

11/6/15

S: “How happy I was to meet some of your children and find them living according to the truth, just as the Father commanded.

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 1:4, 6 NLT

O: What a powerful verse! To say I met your children and found they were living according to the truth means you live by the truth. You taught them well through your actions just as God directed. Doing, an action word, what God commands means love. He has commanded us to love others. It's his consistent theme from the beginning. Love to be loved.

A: I love God who has commanded me to grow my daughter in his love. To grow her in love is showing love to John though he doesn't deserve it. Sure as a man and a father John is not up to par but that doesn't mean I love and serve him any less. Gods command to love is not conditional on the behavior of the others we are to love. 

P: God you are my God!!!! You are magnificent and glorious. Holy, holy holy holy is your name!!!! I praise you for your commands. You long for us to have the attitude of Christ. For you did send him as an example of what we can accomplish. I know I can conquer al as long as I love with no condition. Thank you for opening my eyes to clearly follow your design. Open the doors with a job, childcare and housing. Give John wisdom and discernment as we embrace this transition. We love you and praise you. In Jesua name, amen.
