Good Morning!

I need to get back to "resharing" some of the things that different ones of you have asked me for.  And so today, by special request, I am going to talk about "love".  The kind of love that Jesus commanded all Christians to have for each other (John 13:34 and 1John 3:23).

The Lord will never command us to do something that we can't do.  Whatever He tells us to do, He will ENABLE us to do.  (Read Romans 5:5)

Loving someone does not mean that you like everything they say or do.  We don't always like, or approve of, our children's conversation or behavior.  But that doesn't keep us from loving them.  God does not always like, or approve of, what WE say or do, but that will never stop Him from loving us.

To love someone, with God's kind of love, means to see that person as valuable and precious to God.  After all, the same Jesus that lives in you, also lives in them.  I want to
share with you some words from one of my songs>>>>>>

                   Love does not come just because we agree;
                   Love is the way that I see you and you see me.
                   Love is not based on the way that we feel;
                   Love is a decision of our will.

                   So, I may not always agree with you;
                   With what you say or what you do.
                   But, there is one thing I can choose to do;
                   I can choose to see Jesus in you.  **

Have a Blessed Day!!                 In His Love,        Luanne
