Dear Friend, In this life that we are living, it is important that we invest our love in others. It is easy for us to be lazy and not let those around us know how we truly feel about them, but in this day of unpredictability, we might never know when our last chance of telling our loved ones that we love them will be. It's important that we love people because God commands it and I agree, but I believe that we are to tell our friends and family that we love them because they might not know or feel that we truly do. (James 4:13-15) (Galatians 6:1-4) (John 15:16-17) (Hebrews 13:1) We are to have perfect love towards one another just as God has towards us. Perfect love is not associated with being good or deserving to be loved, but rather perfect love is defined as such because it does not depend on any of those things. Be encouraged to share the love that you have with others so that they may know how you truly feel about them. (1 John 4:18-21) I hope today's simple message on Love ministers to your spirit to be open in sharing the love that is in your heart with those around you. WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN? A group of professionals posed the question What does love mean? to a group of 4 - 8 year-olds and the answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love. Love is when someone hurts you and you get so mad, but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings. Love is what makes you smile when you're tired. Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss. When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more. Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. My Mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night. Love is when Mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken. Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day. I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones. I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her. Love cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't be caught dead saying. You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it alot. People forget. Authors Unknown Read and meditate on these scriptures: 1 John 4:18-21 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love Him, because He first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. Romans 12:9-10 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. Hebrews 13:1-3 Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity as being yourselves also in the body. 1 John 4:10-12 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
