Love.

All of these verses are about Love, God's greatest commandment for us. It's so important that we strive to love one another daily, even that person who really annoys us. When i think about this in my life, i know that sometimes it's hard to love that person who we really don't like but once we continue to do it, it will become easier for us. Even if we just write them a note or encourage them in some way, it will brighten their day. In our society today it's so easy to not like someone but it;s harder to love them when we don't want to. The bible says that we should "Love our neighbors as ourselves". So remember this and the next time you see that person who annoys you so much, love them and pray for them. 


The bible says..

"Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love"-Psalm 48:9

"But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble."-Psalm 59:16

"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart."- Proverbs 3:3

Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you."- Isaiah 54:10

"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."-Micah 6:8

"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"-Matthew 5:44

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."-Mark 12:30

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud"-1 Corinthians 13:4

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,"-Galatians 5:22

"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love"-Ephesians 1:4

"then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind"-Philippians 2:2

Here's a quote from Francis Chan's book Crazy Love, he is one of my favorite Christian authors..so i thought i would share it with you.
"God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love." — Francis Chan (Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God)
