Lord help me to remember that there are no “excepts” in this commandment. No except: that color, that side of the border, that side of the world, those that disagree with me, those that don’t follow You Jesus, those that I deem as sinners….and so on, and so on. Lord, help me to walk in LOVE.
Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves of how very much we are loved by Love Himself. When we truly grasp that deep down in our hearts -self doubt, fear and unworthiness evaporate. After all, if God is for us, who can be against us?
For some, this wisdom echos from the experience of being loved well. For others it may have been an illusion, recited but never demonstrated with sincere and unconditional action. Love isn’t what we say in public. Love is how we act when no one sees.
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep."
