Jesus
said this is my commandment that you love one another. He did not give
us a request but a commandment. Why is it a commandment? Because through
the force of love we can quench every fiery dart of the enemy and love
also covers a multitude of sins.
This type of love is not what we
consider love to be. It is not the pounding of the heart or the tingling
all over our bodies. This love do not retaliate when someone do us
wrong, it will turn the other cheek and do well to those who hurt us. It
is not selfish so it does not seek its own will but will seek the good
of others first.
This type of love is not about feeling it is of
action. We do not wait to feel it before we do it. It is most prevalent
shown when we do not really feeling like it and Christian are commanded
to walk in love; this is how the World will know us.
Showing love
for others should be done on a daily base, it is not the big things that
we do that show our love for others but it is in the simple everyday
things that we do that shows our love.
Love is not weak at all and
even though we are to turn the other cheek this does not make us weak.
It makes us stronger than the one who is causing a problem for us
because we will not allow ourselves to fall for their tactic, we are
above it and our love proves it.
If we are walking in love, should
we get angry? Yes, we can get angry and still be in love. Jesus got
angry when some People were selling products in the Temple of God. He
turned over their tables and made them leave the Temple. He had a
righteous cause to be angry but there was no sin in His action. It was
because of His love that He became angry.
Love is not puffed up or
proud, it does not behave unseemly. It has the ability to draw People
to us and this is a wonderful opportunity to share the good news of
Jesus with them.
