Love the one your with.

[Guest HIS girl]

I work at a Christian secondary college and our final year students graduated on Friday. At the school assembly, the school Principal gave a short but insightful speech to the assembly as well as special guests, parents etc.

He talked about their future, university, the corporate world, adult life in general and in all of this, being a Christian.

He finished by saying that if his students could love the person they were with in that minute, hour, day and that person/people having spent time with you, came away feeling good and postive about themselves and life, then you were actually doing a very important but very overlooked Christian act.

Loving the ones you are with - is loving your "neighbour" and fulfilling a major Commandment of God's.

In this Walk we are on, we struggle with the notion that we must conqure great feats of Christian Ministry and feel like losers when we constantly "look" for God's Will but seem not to "find" it.

It is God's Will for us to love each other, within the Body and out of the Body of Christ. We can fulfill this Commandment everyday.

AMEN!

Right on. Amen! This is our reasonable service to the LORD and the 2nd commandment.

Quite interesting if you look at Matthew 22 v 39 - Jesus says that the second commandment is LIKE the FIRST..............

Matt 22 v 37

Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind."

v 38

'This is the first and great commandment.

v 39

'And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbour as yourself.'

v 40

'On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." NKJV

These words are HUGE from Jesus and show that God IS Love.

To Love God is to love Him with our entire being and to love others is to love them how we love God, to the highest degree.

There are many verses in the Bible that tells us to love each other. As you mentioned, many look for signs of Gods leading in our lives to do a great work for Him, while all the time, all we need to do is love one another as He loves us. That's it. Nothing more. It is so simple, we often overlook its simplicity for a another work that would require us to complete harder tasks with great sacrifices. Little do we know that the greatest sacrifice is for one to lay down their life for another. Love at its greatest.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

As we know it's easier said than done BUT it gives me great joy and hope knowing that the Spirit is always WILLING and more than ABLE to help us - 24/7.

We just have to push through the barrier of "feeling" like NOT doing it.

Although having said that, the more intimate we are with Jesus the more He gives us the capacity to love when love "looks" unloveable.

Busyness is an enemy of Christian living I believe and most times we are too "rushed" to take notice to "love" someone.

It's a trap of modern day living. What we class as urgent today was not considered urgent 50 years ago.
