Do you believe that we would be nothing if we had gifts of the Spirit, great
faith and knowledge, but did not have love? Absolutely nothing! What does that
mean? It means that no matter what we do for the Lord, if it isn't done in
love, then we've wasted our time. That's something to consider!
What is love? How do we really love? Well, God is love (I John 4:8). And how
did God show His ultimate love? Through Jesus Christ, and His sacrifice on the
cross. In fact, Jesus said that no one has greater love than to lay down one's
life for his friends. You might be thinking, When will I be offered the
chance to sacrifice my life to save someone else's? But, that's only
considering the most extreme scenario! Would you or I go out of our way for
someone purely out of love? I mean, really inconvenience ourselves on someone
else's behalf. Consistently, without thought given to repayment--or even
a thank you required?
What a time to focus on love. What a time to focus on Christ! I hope you and
your dear family have a blessed Resurrection Sunday. I hope and pray that all
of us who lay claim to Christ's promise of salvation will find ourselves
renewed and brimming with LOVE for everyone around us. I'll leave you with
these words from The Master:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: "'Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like
it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commandments." - Matthew 22:36-40
I pray that this Easter shall be one filled with love, joy, happiness and
spiritual rebirth to each one of us. May you find peace and assurance in the
Eternal Love, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Wishing all the GOANETTERS a Blessed Easter!!!!!
ARLETTE AZAVEDO
