Stirred By The Scriptures

Love really needs to be seen in action. The problem is that it is so much easier to put into words. Jesus lays out the pattern for us in John 15:12 - “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” To love another person is hard enough but when you add the idea that it is to mirror the way Christ loves me, well that seems impossible. Yet, that is the distinguishing and identifying mark for those of us who claim to be Christ followers. I would encourage you to first sit, reflect and write down the way that Jesus loves you. When you have your list let that be your guide as you pray and ask the Spirit to give you the power to love others like Jesus.
