Loving  Each  other

{1 John 4:12}

"No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us and His love is perfected in us"

The scripture tells us when God dwells in us, we have love for others. A love walk does not come easily without personal sacrifice.. Each time we choose to love someone, it will cost us something. First it cost us our time. Our time spent helping others and seeing to their needs. Second it will cost us effort. The word "pursue" means to follow in an effort to capture or overtake. In other words, we need to make an effort to give love and do whatever it takes to make sure it is number one on our list everyday. Third, it may cost us money. For instance, we may be accustomed to spending all our extra money on ourselves only to discover that walking in love requires that we spend it on others. When we make a true commitment to walk in love, it usually causes a huge shift in our lifestyle. Many of our ways, our thoughts, our conversation, our habits, have to change. It becomes having a heart that thinks about others more than you think about your self. I encourage you to view love as your first priority in life. Study it, seek it, pursue and acquire it, because God's word boldly tells us that we're nothing without it and if God is in your heart, it is a heart filled with "LOVE". How do people see God here on earth? By the "LOVE" we show toward others. Let us allow "LOVE" to shine bright!
