The only way I can consistently love others is to always be resting in God's love for me.<br /><br />However from these verses, I wouldn't want any Christian to get too comfortable with any un-loving tendencies. (I'm not suggesting you are - I just want to clarify the point of this post). Yes God loves us first, but if we don't love others... it seems we've missed something crucial and aren't really his children.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266729238990589293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203174451356862507.post-41806292485144729802011-05-23T19:00:48.097-05:002011-05-23T19:00:48.097-05:00We are all mixed bags.

Sometimes we love...sometimes, not so much.<br /><br />What's really important and where we ought focus (I believe) is on His love for us.<br /><br />He loves and "died for the ungodly".<br /><br />That's me!<br /><br />What a God!<br /><br />Thanks.Steve Martinhttp://theoldadam.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203174451356862507.post-15423669915419247522011-05-22T20:48:37.894-05:002011-05-22T20:48:37.894-05:00Thanks Lysa.

But yes, if we do everything right but don't have love, it's a gong show (clanging symbols 1 Cor 13:1).Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01266729238990589293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203174451356862507.post-21382032927557332662011-05-22T18:27:37.514-05:002011-05-22T18:27:37.514-05:00That's what I've been talking about all th...That's what I've been talking about all these months!<br />:))))<br />LOVE!!!<br />Jesus summed it up; we like to add to it.<br />Never-the-less, He still loves us! <br />;)SagebrushFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013987477551669408noreply@blogger.com
