Abound in Love


12 November 2010.

1 Thessalonians 3:11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you; and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all men, as we do to you, so that he may establish your hearts un-blameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

Love is putting the other person first, and this does not mean just saying it, it must be seen to be done. So often we find people having stickers telling people about God’s love, yet sometimes those people do not show that love to others. This love that needs to be shown is not just to one another, but is a love to all men.

It is this way that this love is blameless and seeks only the good of others, and will not harm others in any way. So when we come to love people, the natural response is a holiness and this holiness is what separates and sanctifies us. So often we think that we can stand by while people we do not know are harmed, maligned, abused, and not reach out to help, this love that comes from God changes us so that we become involved and become the disciples of Jesus Christ in this world.

Be encouraged today to love all men.

David
